Program:Dialectical Behavioral Therapy DBT
Equipping You with Essential Rehabilitation Techniques
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) combines essential cognitive-behavioral techniques used in reality-testing and emotion regulation with concepts of mindful awareness, acceptance, and distress tolerance. The training involved in learning DBT skills provides patients with the abilities to effectively cope with their conditions. This includes teaching patients how to react to stress, handle the inability to express feelings and self-calm, and deal with issues such as emotionally reactive behaviors. The tools you learn here will work to prepare you for long-term success and rehabilitation, allowing you to live a healthy and happy life.
The functions of DBT include the following:
- Structures our patients’ environment so that they feel secure and capable
- Teaches our patients essential, long-term coping and avoidance techniques
- Enhances our patients’ capabilities regarding interpersonal effectiveness, mindfulness, and others
- Provides our patients with the skills and mindset they need to be successful and healthy after rehabilitation
