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?

I initially had a fantastic experience with Thriveworks, and I was thrilled with the service they provided. My journey to find the right therapist was successful, and I happily recommended Thriveworks to friends and family. However, my positive experience took a turn when I discovered that the therapist I connected with does not accept my insurance. Embarking on the path to seek help required a lot of courage on my part, and I fully committed to the process. In just 4 or 5 sessions, I developed a strong connection with my therapist. Unfortunately, the realization that she could no longer continue due to insurance constraints has left me feeling disappointed. Now, I find myself having to start the therapeutic journey all over again, and this has diminished my overall satisfaction with the service.

Sherodle is a fantastic counselor. I’ve learned so much that I use to make my life better. She is easy to speak with, very personable. Not sure about your rating system. I put 5 assuming that is best.
