Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
The level of suffering you’re experiencing now is way beyond anything you’ve experienced before.
You're not sleeping well, constantly on edge, and one second away from exploding at those around you.
And what feels worse is that you can’t even feel calm when you're alone, in fact, the fear worsens when you’re not able to distract yourself.
DBT helps by providing real life skills to manage the overwhelming emotions that come with being a human being.
6 Benefits of Learning and Using DBT skills:
You’ll be able to communicate your wants and needs to others in an effective way where you actually get what you are asking for.
You will be able to survive an emotional crisis without resorting to harmful means.
People will want to be around you and you’ll be able to maintain important relationships.
You will be able to focus better at work, with friends and family, as well as when engaging in life’s smaller moments.
You will gain or increase respect and love for yourself.
You will become an expert problem solver as you will know all of your options.
What makes DBT different from traditional talk therapy?
In DBT, we target specific behaviors, thoughts, and feelings that are causing pain and suffering in your life, and you will be taught skills on how to achieve the goals you want to reach.
