DBT Therapy

At Mindful Solutions, we offer Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help individuals manage their emotions, cope with life’s challenges, and improve relationships. Originally developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), DBT is now widely used to address conditions like depression, post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), bulimia, substance addiction and depersonalization and derealization disorder.

What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?

DBT is a form of therapy that combines acceptance and change. It teaches clients how to accept themselves as they are, while also working toward positive changes. This balance is essential for improving emotional regulation and building healthier relationships.

DBT shares some similarities with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), focusing on the present moment rather than past experiences and working to replace unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with more productive ones.

DBT Skills for Emotional Management

At Mindful Solutions, we use DBT to help clients develop four essential skills:

Mindfulness
Mindfulness helps you stay focused on the present moment, reducing emotional suffering and increasing self-awareness. By accepting your current situation, you can gain control over your life and improve your overall well-being.
Distress Tolerance
Distress tolerance skills help you navigate high-stress situations without making them worse. These techniques allow you to remain calm and clear-headed, giving you the ability to handle crises more effectively.
Emotion Regulation
Emotion regulation skills teach you how to manage and reduce the intensity of emotional fluctuations. By learning these techniques, you can decrease the distress caused by sudden emotional changes and build emotional resilience.
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Interpersonal effectiveness skills help you communicate more clearly and assertively with others, improving relationships and increasing self-respect.
