- DBT can benefit almost anyone and DBT has been demonstrated to be effective in helping people work through problems including:
- Overwhelming emotions
- Impulsive behavior
- Self-injury
- Suicidal thoughts
- Substance use
- Eating disorders
- Trauma
- Challenging relationships that are filled with conflict or arguments
- DBT has four different skills modules, often referred to as coping skills: emotion regulation skills, distress tolerance skills, interpersonal effectiveness skills, and core mindfulness skills.
Trauma shows up in more ways than just PTSD!
- Many individuals experience symptoms associated with "big-T" and "small-T" trauma, from PTSD-like symptoms to negative beliefs about themselves that feed into depression and anxiety. Trauma is simply unprocessed memories from the past, that continue to bother you in the here and now. Many people I meet are not aware they have trauma. Sometimes trauma shows up as negative beliefs about yourself, others, and the world! My goal is to gently explore and process memories with you, to grow new neural pathways of healing, to help you to feel empowered, and to help you feel more positive about your future. Let me help you discover new pathways so that you may have the opportunity to have a more satisfying and healthier life.
