Explaining Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Our psychologists in Washington, DC, explain that dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) is a form of talk therapy. This therapy works well if you experience intense emotions or have borderline personality disorder. Some therapists use DBT for other mental health conditions.
This therapy helps you to:
- Understand how your thoughts affect your emotions and behaviors
- Accept the reality of your life
- Accept your behaviors
- Change your life
- Recognize and change negative behaviors
DBT helps manage and regulate emotions. This therapy helps in the treatment and management of the following mental health conditions:
- Borderline personality disorder
- Self-harm
- Suicidal behavior
- PTSD
- Substance abuse disorder
- Eating disorders
- Depression
- Anxiety
We have a goal of helping you balance your acceptance of who you are with your ability to challenge yourself to change. You are given tools to help you learn new skills and regulate your emotions.
Your DBT therapy sessions are as follows:
- DBT pre-assessment
- Individualized therapy
- Skills training in groups
- Telephone crisis coaching
The Benefits of DBT
DBT comprises various benefits, some of which are:
- Less self-harm
- Decreased hospitalizations
- Less drug/alcohol abuse
- Decreased signs of depression
To reap the benefits of DBT, you must be:
- Committed to positive changes and fully ready for therapy
- Devoted to focusing on your present and future and letting go of the past
- Willing to participate in group sessions with others
My Prognosis
As a rule, DBT therapy takes up to one year. For some people with borderline personality disorders, it may take them years to realize success, but our goal is not for you to be in therapy forever. No matter how long it takes you or the next person, continued progress is excellent and increases your quality of life.
