What is DBT? |
DBT is an effective treatment for high-risk, complex emotional and behavioral concerns. This can include everything from yelling and screaming at loved ones to cutting, burning, or poisoning the self. Individuals exhibiting symptoms of borderline personality disorder, self-injury, suicidality, addiction, eating disorders, or other severe mood or anxiety concerns may benefit from DBT. It provides a robust set of healthy coping skills to replace destructive behaviors and tame out-of-control emotions. |
However, the benefits of DBT require an investment of time. Specifically, clients engage in (a) weekly individual therapy, (b) weekly group skills training, and (c) telephone coaching as needed. The skills learned in therapy then become more powerful the more you practice them. Because we've seen such dramatic changes in so many people, we believe your investment is worth it. So does the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), the American Psychological Association (APA), The Cochrane Collaboration, and others.
