Dialectical Behavior Therapy
If you are having difficulty regulating emotions, our therapy programs can help. Rogers Behavioral Health may use dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) to support your progress and learn new skills during treatment.
DBT Can Transform Your Life
Dialectical behavior therapy can help you learn skills for managing intense emotions, improving relationships, and reducing self-destructive behaviors. If your mental health makes it hard to find balance, DBT could help you gain new perspectives and make progress so you can enjoy the moments that matter most.
DBT focuses on finding a middle ground between opposing thoughts or forces. So, if you’re struggling with extreme emotions, obsessive thinking, or compulsive actions, you can learn to step back and understand that you don’t have to give in to everything that crosses your mind.
How Does DBT Work?
DBT can help you learn how to accept uncomfortable or opposing thoughts and emotions, but also help you realize where you have room for change. You might learn DBT-informed skills like:
- Mindfulness, or being present in your body and mind
- Interpersonal effectiveness, or building better relationships
- Distress tolerance, or reacting appropriately when stressed
- Emotion regulation to reduce or improve self-defeating or self-harming behaviors
Dialectical behavior therapy can allow you to increase empathetic, non-judgmental acceptance of yourself while learning how to better self-manage your emotions. DBT and DBT-informed skills are helpful in a wide range of treatment services at Rogers.
DBT As an Effective Tool for Success
DBT focuses on helping individuals like yourself develop skills to regulate their emotions and manage relationships in a healthy manner. It can be beneficial for those struggling with various mental health issues, including:
- Depression
- Bipolar disorder
- Borderline personality disorder
- Eating disorders
- Anxiety disorders
We offer both inpatient and outpatient programs that utilize DBT to accommodate patients who need different levels of care. Rogers even offers a residential treatment program at the Nashotah Center in Oconomowoc, Wisconsin, that prioritizes DBT for adolescent females. The program is created for teens who struggle with self-injury, suicidality, emotion regulation, and the management of interpersonal relationships.
