Unlocking the Power of Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Initially part of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) has evolved into a standalone approach. Originally designed for those with borderline personality disorder and chronic suicidal thoughts, DBT is now widely applied to help individuals struggling with emotions, such as anger outbursts, frequent arguments, mood swings, eating disorders, personality disorders, addictions, depression, anxiety, or impulsivity. DBT focuses on regulating both overly and under-controlled emotions through mindfulness, interpersonal effectiveness skills, emotional regulation exercises, distress tolerance skills, and reality acceptance.

Curious About Your Progress?

Your therapist is here to address any concerns related to your treatment journey. It’s natural to wonder about the future, and engaging in CBT sessions ensures valuable learning experiences. The speed of your progress depends on your motivation and the complexity of your issues, but rest assured that CBT has proven to be highly effective over time.

Had CBT Before?

If you’ve tried CBT without success, don’t be discouraged. Identifying the reasons for lack of improvement is crucial. It could be related to the therapist’s experience, the inability to tailor the treatment correctly, or a failure to build a strong rapport. External factors or the potential suitability of a different therapeutic approach, such as psychoanalytic therapy, should be considered. Addressing these obstacles before starting therapy is essential, and finding a dedicated therapist to support your recovery journey is crucial.

The Mechanics of CBT

Wondering how CBT works? CBT interventions follow a clear treatment protocol tailored to your specific disorder and individual needs. Your therapist will employ proven interventions, involving identifying the problem and its causes, removing maintaining factors, discovering your strengths, and building coping strategies. With your permission, the therapist may challenge your thinking patterns, showing how they impact your emotions and actions. Throughout the treatment, you’ll learn to examine your perceptions, identify common thinking biases, and develop beneficial behavioral habits.

CBT Endorsed by the NHS

Research attests to the effectiveness of CBT, making it highly recommended by the NHS. Beyond its proven efficacy, CBT is preferred for its short-term, cost-effective nature as a response to personal difficulties. If you’ve ever felt discouraged or experienced a loss of self-esteem due to the pace of progress, these feelings signal that a different approach may be needed, and our team is here to guide you through it.
