View Joseph Storz's profile

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

My go to approach for helping people in DBT is to assist them with developing the skills that will assist them with improving their ability to effectively manage their emotions.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

I teach the following tools in DBT:

Mindfulness
Emotional regulation
Distress tolerance
Interpersonal effectiveness

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

I know that a client is making meaningful progress in DBT when they indicate a reduction in the frequency, duration, and intensity of painful emotions and an improved ability to regulate their emotions.

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

Clients can supplement their time in DBT by practicing mindfulness techniques such as 54321 grounding techniques and mindfulness breathing as well as making lifestyle changes that can improve their ability to regulate their emotions.

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

To prepare for their first DBT session, an individual can consider how they deal with their emotions right now. Do they allow themselves to feel emotions or do they fight them? Do they avoid them? Do they try to hide them?

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 Wyomissing, PA 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.
