DBT Skills Class (Online)
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is one of the most researched treatments for people with difficulties in regulating their emotions. It was originally developed by Dr Marsha Linehan for self-harming individuals who met criteria for borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT was proven effective in reducing suicidal behaviour, self-injury, impulsivity, disruptions to personal relationships and improving social functioning, eating and mood disorders, post-traumatic stress, childhood sexual abuse and substance dependency, and is now the go-to treatment for improving emotional regulation skills in those diagnosed with ADHD or ADD.

Mentalisation-Based Therapy (MBT) Programme
MBT treatment is relevant if you have experienced any of the following: 1) difficulties regulating intense emotions that lead you to behaving in ways you don't understand, 2) chaotic relationships where you either frantically pursue or impulsively cut the other person off, 3) enormous fear of abandonment and trying to avoid it at all costs, 4) impulsive urges that make your life unbearable or lead to feelings of self-hate, 5) episodes of extreme emotional pain and attempts to stop it with self-harm, alcohol, drugs or sex, 6) rapidly changing moods for no apparent reason.
