Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) FAQ

The first thing to look for in a DBT therapist is someone who has been trained in the approach. There are many therapists who claim to use DBT, but not all have been trained in the specific protocol. It is important that you find a therapist who knows how to use the skills effectively and can help you apply them to your own life. Another thing to consider when choosing a DBT therapist is whether or not they have experience treating your specific condition. DBT has been shown to be effective for treating a variety of mental health conditions, but not all therapists have experience with all types of disorders. Make sure to ask about a therapist’s experience in treating your particular condition before you commit to working with them. Finally, it is important to find a DBT therapist who you feel comfortable with. Therapist-client relationships are important in any type of therapy, but they are especially crucial in DBT. You need to feel safe and supported by your therapist in order to be able to effectively work on your issues.

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is used to treat a variety of mental health conditions but is most commonly used to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD). BPD is a mental illness that is characterized by unstable emotions, impulsive behaviors, and difficulty in relationships. DBT has been shown to be an effective treatment for BPD, reducing the symptoms of the disorder and improving quality of life. DBT can also be used to treat other mental disorders such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).

Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is based on the idea that our emotions are regulated by our thoughts, and that we can change the way we feel by changing the way we think. For example, if you’re feeling anxious, you might have the thought “I’m not good enough.” changing this thought to “I can handle this” would likely reduce your anxiety. DBT aims to help people change their thoughts and behaviours in order to improve their emotional regulation.

There is no definitive answer to this question, as the course of borderline personality disorder can be highly variable from individual to individual. However, some possible factors that can make BPD symptoms worse include; having a history of trauma or abuse; experiencing high levels of stress or anxiety; using drugs or alcohol excessively; facing major life changes or transitions; having unstable relationships, and feeling isolated or alone. If you are struggling with borderline personality disorder, it is important to seek professional help and treatment.

With proper medical care and treatment, most people with bipolar disorder can manage their symptoms and lead productive lives.

While every case is different, many people with bipolar disorder can benefit from working with a behavioural psychologist.
