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

Danielle: Some helpful approaches in dialectical behavior therapy include mindfulness techniques, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation. Clients can use these tools to identify their emotions and practice healthy coping skills.

Betsy: My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy is to teach clients what it is and how we use it, because it is a skills-based therapy. I prefer using DBT because it deals with emotional regulation, helping the client feel better about themselves, and reinforcing good life skills.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

Danielle: Usually, when therapists teach dialectical behavior therapy, they incorporate these tools:

  • Problem-solving
  • Self-validation
  • Distress tolerance
  • Emotional regulation
  • Mindfulness
  • Final thoughts

Betsy: "I teach the following in DBT:

  • The What, How, and Why skill (mindfulness techniques)
  • Validation
  • Mindfulness skills
  • Emotional regulation
  • Distress tolerance
"

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

Danielle: When my client makes meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy, they have achieved some short-term goals, like communicating with their support system, continuing to be open and honest in therapy, and being able to identify their emotions.

Betsy: I see progress when the client is able to endure small amounts of disappointment without being overly upset.

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

Danielle: Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy by tracking their mood, journaling, identifying triggers, and using positive self-talk.

Betsy: Clients can supplement their time in dialectical behavior therapy by learning the skills taught in therapy and reviewing the skills for their session.

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

Danielle: To prepare for dialectical behavior therapy sessions, an individual can prepare their schedule for regular therapy attendance, actively listen in sessions, and commit to practicing skills outside of therapy.

Betsy: To prepare for their first session, clients can read up on what DBT is and what it entails.

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 Winston-Salem, NC 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?
