Dialectical behaviour therapy and its applications
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach grounded in cognitive-behavioural principles, designed to help individuals develop skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and creating a life worth living. DBT is practiced by trained professionals who guide individuals through a structured program aimed at enhancing emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. At It's Complicated, our team of therapists specialises in delivering DBT skills training to clients struggling with mood disorders, borderline personality disorder, and other emotional dysregulation issues. Through a combination of individual therapy, skills groups, and coaching, we empower clients to navigate life's challenges with resilience and adaptability.
How dialectical behaviour therapy works
In DBT, clients learn a range of skills to manage distressing emotions, tolerate distress, regulate impulses, and improve interpersonal relationships. Our therapists provide a supportive environment for clients to learn and practice these skills, incorporating mindfulness techniques to enhance awareness of thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. Through collaborative exploration and structured exercises, individuals develop practical strategies for coping with crises, reducing self-destructive behaviours, and increase their emotional and cognitive regulation. This is primarily achieved through learning about the triggers that lead to reactive states and helping to assess which coping skills to apply in the sequence of events to help avoid undesired reactions.
Is dialectical behaviour therapy right for you?
DBT offers a structured and evidence-based approach to addressing emotional dysregulation and interpersonal difficulties. Whether struggling with chronic feelings of emptiness, recurrent suicidal thoughts, or difficulties in relationships, DBT provides practical tools for enhancing emotional resilience and improving quality of life. If you're seeking to gain greater control over your emotions, build healthier relationships, and live a more fulfilling life, dialectical behaviour therapy may offer valuable insights and skills for personal growth.
