DBT Dialectical Behaviour Therapy North East
DBT Dialectical Behaviour Therapy North East
DBT is a form of CBT that was developed to treat emotional problems. I practice DBT in Gosforth Regent Centre alongside CBT ( Cognitive Behaviour Therapy) and Hypnotherapy. As a therapy in can be described as a mix of CBT and the eastern philosophy of mindfulness. It fits perfectly with my training as a clinical hypnotherapist and Masters in CBT.
Why DBT Dialectical Behaviour Therapy?
DBT works by targeting negative thinking and unhelpful behaviour. It is a great all-round tool box for better managing relationships. It can help you communicate better and set your boundaries while learning how to respect the boundaries of others.
It was developed originally to help people with borderline personality disorder (bpd) now known as emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD).
There are 4 categories ( often called pillars) of DBT skills:
- Mindfulness
- Distress Tolerance
- Emotional Regulation
- Interpersonal Effectiveness
What is DBT?
What is meant by dialectical ? Thinking dialectally is when you can see all sides, or both sides of a situation even though they may be opposite. You might feel validated in being very angry at someone yet want to change how you react and think when you are provoked. Think of it as reaching a balance within yourself so that you can lead a more productive happy life. Acceptance and change can happen at the same time. DBT recognises that all behaviour is trying to serve some purpose and that change is about progress not perfection. DBT can help with anxiety, depression, low self-esteem and many other mental health problems where emotions, impulsive behaviours and poor relationships play a significant role.
