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

A go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is educating individuals on utilizing mindfulness tools, how to manage stress, and how to regulate their emotions. The best benefit of teaching these tools is to assist someone in reducing their symptoms so they can have a better quality of life.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

I teach the following tools in dialectical behavior therapy:

  • Mindfulness tools: Breathing exercises, guided imagery, body scanning tool, and progressive muscle tension and relaxation.
  • Stress management tools: Exploration of self-care and ways to cope with stress.
  • Emotional regulation tools: Psychoeducation on emotions and teaching skills to change unwanted emotions.

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

A client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy when they are more confident sharing how they feel, more assertive, can cope with difficult situations, and practice radical acceptance of things outside their control.

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

Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy by learning to self-soothe. Clients can do this by calming themselves through various techniques, with levels of effectiveness that are often unique to each individual. For example, they can try spending time with their pet or meditating.

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

Starting Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

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 Cherry Hill, NJ 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.

I am feeling so positive right now! I had a great session with Laura. I already feel like I made the right decision by choosing her. I felt like I was rambling but she assured me that I needed to do that to get her caught up on what's going on. I already did the challenge she gave me and I feel good about it. Looking forward to seeing her in 2 weeks!
