DBT stands for dialectical behavioral therapy, don’t worry, you don’t need to memorize the name!
This is a type of cognitive behavioral therapy that includes healthy skills to cope with distress or other big emotions and navigating relationships. This type of therapy is very effective in working with borderline personality, self harm, disordered eating, depression, anxiety, and more.
My clients leave with many DBT skills in their back pocket as a way to regulate emotions, practice healthy acceptance, good communication, manage distress, and be able to learn so much more about themselves and the way they experience emotions!
You have probably hear the term mindfulness a lot. Let’s take a closer look at how it helps!
Mindfulness is all about bringing you into the present moment. Using mindfulness practices you can observe thoughts feelings, and sensations with curiosity instead of judgment.
As humans, we often go to a negative, self critical, or judgmental space when we observe ourselves. Mindfulness increases our ability to act like scientists and just observe what is happening without giving an opinion on it.
This makes it so much easier to allow strong emotions to come and go without adding fuel to the fire.
Practicing mindfulness through meditation, breathe work, yoga, etc., has many benefits. It can reduce stress, negative rumination, lower anxiety and depression, cope with social skills, regulate the nervous system, and so much more. I mean, no wonder us therapists rave about it!
