My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is a DBT workbook and daily mindfulness-based practices. I find the best benefit in structured DBT efforts because it helps increase personal awareness and understanding of complex disorders, allowing for increased distress tolerance and emotional regulation.
I teach the following tools in dialectical behavior therapy: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
I know a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy when they begin to better manage their reactions to triggers and are able to increase levels of self-control. Ultimately, a client's relationships and environment will begin to reflect their increased levels of self-control.
Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy with daily self-care practices such as exercise, journaling, and meditation.
To prepare for their first dialectical behavior therapy session, an individual can research the method and understand that a more structured approach may be introduced for DBT. Preparing for a more interactive relationship than traditional talk therapy is useful, as DBT often requires timely completion of homework practices to impress DBT skills upon the mind.
At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.
DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.
The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Helotes, TX is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.
