Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) FAQs

What is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)?

I appreciated how well Pam made me feel comfortable
Terrence Aug 2026Thriveworks.com verified review
★★★☆☆
I gave 5s above because I don’t have enough experience with this/her to have formed an opinion one way or another. I think she did a great job of letting me talk, and ask me questions for her purposes to be able to help me. After one gets to know me, I really want to be ‘analyzed’, and hear what they see that I’m doing wrong. I’ve got plenty of “atta girl!”s. I need to know the stuff that’s hard to hear about myself. And I need the actual tools to fix things. I’m a bit contrary. I’m irritated easily. And I’m oh sooo menopausal. FYI). I don’t like fluff or filler. Brass tacs please!

I love that it is much more intimate having the sessions in my own home. I am much more apt to open up more freely when I am more comfortable and that is within my own home.
