DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) is a cognitive-behavioral therapy that was developed by psychologist Marsha Linehan. It is a widely used therapy for individuals who struggle with emotional regulation and coping with stress. DBT is based on the principle that individuals can learn to manage their emotions by improving their coping skills and increasing their self-awareness. In this blog post, we'll explore how to do DBT therapy.
The first step in doing DBT therapy is finding a qualified therapist. DBT is a specialized therapy, and it's important to find a therapist who has received formal training in DBT. It's also important to find a therapist who is licensed and has experience working with individuals who have similar struggles to yours. You can find a qualified DBT therapist by searching online, asking for referrals from your healthcare provider or friends, or contacting your insurance provider for a list of in-network therapists.
Once you have found a qualified DBT therapist, the next step is to undergo an assessment. During the assessment, your therapist will work with you to identify the areas of your life that need improvement, such as emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, or self-esteem. The assessment will also help your therapist to determine the severity of your symptoms and develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your needs.
Individual therapy is a core component of DBT therapy. During individual therapy sessions, you will work one-on-one with your therapist to address the specific areas of your life that you want to improve. Your therapist will teach you skills to help you manage your emotions, such as mindfulness, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. They will also help you identify patterns of behavior that may be contributing to your struggles and work with you to develop more adaptive coping strategies.
Group therapy is another important component of DBT therapy. In group therapy sessions, you will work with a small group of individuals who are also undergoing DBT therapy. Group therapy provides a supportive environment where you can practice your coping skills and receive feedback from others who are going through similar struggles. It also helps you develop a sense of community and build relationships with others who understand what you're going through.
In addition to individual and group therapy sessions, DBT therapy also includes phone coaching. Phone coaching is a service that allows you to contact your therapist outside of regular therapy sessions for support and guidance. Phone coaching is especially helpful during times of crisis or when you need help applying the coping skills you've learned in therapy to real-life situations.
DBT therapy also includes homework assignments. These assignments are designed to help you practice the coping skills you've learned in therapy and apply them to real-life situations. Homework assignments may include keeping a daily diary card to track your emotions, practicing mindfulness exercises, or role-playing difficult conversations with a friend or family member.
In summary, DBT therapy is a specialized therapy that can be effective in helping individuals manage their emotions and cope with stress. To do DBT therapy, you need to find a qualified therapist who has experience working with individuals who have similar struggles to yours. You will then undergo an assessment, participate in individual and group therapy sessions, receive phone coaching, and complete homework assignments to practice the skills you've learned in therapy. By following these steps, you can begin your journey towards improved emotional regulation and a more fulfilling life.
