DBT Skills Training Group for Teens
The focus in DBT treatment is "radical" acceptance of oneself, while learning behavioral skills specifically designed to help overcome emotional vulnerability and to build a life worth living. Research indicates that Dialectical Behavior Therapy is successful in treating out-of-control behaviors like impulsivity, suicidal ideation & attempts, self-harm, eating disorders, substance abuse & addiction. DBT considers the client's primary problem to be a combination of emotional vulnerability and an inability to regulate emotions. Ongoing "emotional dysregulation" impairs clients' functioning in personal relationships, developing coping skills, thinking clearly in stressful situations and holding onto a sense of self.
