Fatherhood is challenging. Frequently, fathers find it challenging to figure out their placement within their family. Focusing on building, planning, and developing our family can leave us feeling “misplaced,” “lost,” or stuck in our family system. As fathers, we are also nurturers and have our own emotional experiences that we may feel don’t get the attention we deserve. Feeling misplaced or lost can result in resentment and over-functioning. In the group, we will find clarity and understanding through the guidance and experiences of other fathers and leave feeling empowered with the clarity of who we are as fathers.

Yes, it is so easy to think that provision of psychotherapy is only about our education, training, experience. Among many facets of psychotherapy, deep self-reflection and self- awareness of a clinician can be one of the most important ones for an effective clinician. On top of academic pressure and juggling with other parts of your life, being in the process of becoming a therapist takes a lot of tenaciousness and self-introspection. So we need more support and guidance from others as we progress through this journey. Your personal psychotherapy can be a solid foundation for your profession.

Dialectical Behavior (DBT) Support Groups
Who is DBT for?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is designed for people who experience extreme emotional suffering because they lack the skills of emotion regulation and distress tolerance. The basic affliction can underlie a wide range of conditions, from borderline and other personality disorders to PTSD and treatment-resistant anxiety and depression. The therapy is helpful to those whose emotional reactivity is so intense it is disruptive to everyday functioning and leads to frequent crises.
Why do people need DBT?
The ability to regulate emotions is a core psychological skill that enables people to function in life and pay attention to the world outside themselves; it is consistently associated with well-being. DBT is designed to help people learn how to manage and regulate their emotions. Originally developed to treat people with borderline personality disorder whose extreme emotional suffering led to self-harming behavior and suicide attempts, the therapy is now applied to other conditions involving emotion dysregulation, particularly when other treatments have failed.
What happens in DBT?
Individuals meet weekly with their therapist to discuss their experiences relating to moods, behavior, and skills. Using checklists they maintain, they review emotional experiences and positive practices they engage in. The diaries help individuals discern what led up to a specific problem encountered, this is followed by discussion of the consequences of their actions. In addition, individuals may meet in class-like small groups to learn skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation and distress tolerance.
How long does DBT last?
Because it is intended to establish long-lasting behavioral change among those with persistent problems, DBT is designed to last six months to a year. DBT includes both weekly sessions of individual therapy and weekly skills-training sessions conducted in small groups. Studies of DBT have documented improvement within a year of treatment, particularly in controlling self-harmful behavior; nevertheless, individuals may require therapy for several years.
