Embrace Life with DBT
Originally for Borderline Personality Disorder, DBT now aids in managing anxiety, depression, substance abuse, eating disorders, ADHD, trauma, relationship issues, and anger.
Who can benefit from DBT Therapy?
At Gold Therapy NYC, you receive individualized DBT therapy, focusing on skill development for a more satisfying life. Our approach includes:
Mindfulness: Enhance your present-moment awareness.
Emotion Regulation: Understand and manage your emotions effectively.
Distress Tolerance: Learn to endure pain without harmful behaviors.
Interpersonal Effectiveness: Improve communication and resolve conflicts.
How is DBT therapy structured?
DBT therapy differs from traditional talk therapy in its structured approach and its emphasis on skill-building. While talk therapy, also known as psychodynamic therapy, primarily revolves around exploring past experiences, unconscious processes, and the therapeutic relationship to gain insight and promote healing, DBT therapy is action-oriented and focuses on teaching you specific, practical skills to manage your emotions, tolerate distress, improve interpersonal interactions, and be present in the moment (mindfulness).
How is DBT therapy different from traditional talk therapy?
Mindfulness: DBT therapy typically begins with a focus on developing mindfulness skills that can enhance your capacity to be fully present in the current moment.
Emotion Regulation: this component of DBT therapy provides skills that will help you identify and understand your emotions. You will learn how to prevent, change and respond skillfully to painful feelings like anger, disappointment, sadness, envy, fear, and guilt.
Distress Tolerance: Sometimes we aren’t able to change the way we feel, and that’s where distress tolerance skills are most useful. DBT therapy distress tolerance will teach you how to tolerate and endure emotional pain without resorting to unhealthy behaviors.
Interpersonal Effectiveness: Relationships are complicated, and this module of DBT therapy will give you tools that aim to improve your interactions with others and navigate conflict. You’ll learn how to express your needs and desires, say no and set clear boundaries, and resolve conflict in a way that leaves you feeling good about yourself and the relationship.
