Dialectical Behavior Therapy-Skills Training Group

Dialectical Behavior Therapy was originally designed for chronically self-harming adult clients, and has been further developed to treat other co-occurring psychiatric illness such as Depression, Bipolar Disorder, Anxiety, and PTSD. Research has shown DBT successful in treating out-of-control behavior problems such as impulsivity, suicidal ideation & attempts, self-harm, eating disorders and substance abuse / addiction. DBT considers the client’s primary problem to be a combination of emotional vulnerability and an inability to regulate emotional responses. Ongoing “emotional dysregulation” negatively impacts a client’s functioning in personal relationships, to develop coping skills, to think clearly in stressful situations and hold on to a sense of self. The focus in DBT treatment is on “radical” acceptance of oneself as is, while at the same time learning behavioral skills specifically designed to help overcome emotional vulnerability, and to build a life worth living.
