What is your go-to approach for dialectical behavior therapy?

Dialectical behavior therapy is useful for helping clients learn emotional regulation skills. I use DBT with people who are seeking tools to help manage intense emotions and urges.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

Teaching core mindfulness is extremely helpful for emotional regulation. Clients learn how to notice, name, and clarify their feelings and action urges. Merging logical and emotional brain communication creates a type of wisdom that allows the person to make more practical decisions for their life.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy?

A client is making meaningful progress in DBT when they can consistently practice STOP (Stop, Take a step back, Observe the situation, Proceed mindfully).

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement dialectical behavior therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in DBT by keeping a journal, practicing meditation/prayer, and keeping themselves physically healthy.

What should someone do to prepare for starting dialectical behavior therapy?

To prepare for their first DBT therapy session, an individual can read some articles on mindfulness.

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) FAQs

What is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)?

At Thriveworks, Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) primarily concentrates on assisting individuals in emotion regulation, enhancing interpersonal relationships, and acquiring effective coping strategies for managing stress and emotional difficulties.

How does DBT work?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) targets your personal challenges. You may work with your DBT therapist to maintain diary cards to monitor progress, emphasizing validation and support in the therapeutic relationship. DBT follows a stage-based approach, prioritizing crisis reduction initially and life satisfaction.

What is DBT best used for?

DBT was initially developed to address the needs of individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD). However, its versatile approach has enabled its application to a wide range of mental health conditions, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, stress, and anger issues.

What are the 4 pillars of DBT?

The 4 pillars of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance.

Is DBT better than EMDR?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) have distinct purposes and aren’t inherently superior or inferior to one another. DBT is most effective for managing emotional regulation, personality disorders, and interpersonal challenges, while EMDR is specifically tailored for individuals with trauma-related conditions like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Is DBT conducted in person or online?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) with therapists at Thriveworks in Marietta, GA is conducted both in person and online by video. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How many months is DBT?

The duration of a standard DBT program is typically around 24 weeks, which is roughly six months. The actual number of sessions will vary depending on the issues you wish to address.

My therapist is great! . . My recommendation is that you reduce the number of communications. The volume of communications adds stress for people who are already dealing with too much. . . There is a way to find balance between too little and too much.
