Is DBT Therapy right for me? DBT therapy is particularly beneficial if you struggle with overwhelming emotions, difficulty in relationships, impulsivity, or a sense of emptiness. It offers effective strategies to support your journey toward emotional balance and well-being.
What should I expect during DBT therapy sessions? During DBT therapy sessions, you’ll work one-on-one with your therapist to learn practical skills for handling emotions and improving relationships. The focus is on setting goals, tracking progress, and applying these skills in everyday life. Sessions are designed to help you manage tough situations, control strong emotions, and communicate better. Your therapist will guide you, offer support, and give feedback to help you use these skills effectively and achieve your therapy goals.
How long does DBT therapy typically last? The effectiveness of DBT depends on your active participation and practice of skills outside sessions. The more effort you invest, the more improvements you’ll likely see. Your therapist will work with you to tailor the therapy timeline to fit your needs and help you make meaningful progress towards your goals.
What if I don’t want to do just DBT therapy? If you’re interested in DBT therapy but not committing fully to its structured approach, you can still benefit by incorporating its helpful techniques into your sessions. Your therapist can customize your therapy to include DBT skills that you find most useful, such as managing emotions or improving communication. This approach allows you to explore DBT’s practical tools while addressing your specific needs and goals in therapy. Our goal is always to help find what works best for you!
