About

Are you ready to try Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to overcome a pattern of unstable relationships and reactive emotional outbursts? Perhaps you have landed in the psychiatric hospital due to erratic behavior. Perhaps you have reached a point where things just are not working for you and you are ready to make a change. Control these symptoms: Frantic attempts to prevent abandonment. Unstable relationships - alternating between "I love you" and "I hate you". Impulsive behavior such as binge eating, reckless driving, or spending. Self-mutilation or suicidal thoughts. Mood swings. Anger that is out of control or inappropriate. DBT is a specialized program that emphasizes learning and practicing skills to improve the ability to maintain appropriate behavior despite intense stressors. Some assumptions of DBT: 1. People are doing the best the can, and they can do better. 2. People have not caused all of their problems, but they need to solve them anyway.
