DBT is premised on the idea that many problems are based on a skill deficit, and that by giving clients better skills they can live a happier and more productive life.
DBT skills training is often done in groups and is accompanied by individual treatment and coaching from a therapist. In a clinical setting learning all the skills typically takes six months.
Participating in a DBT Skills Group allows you to work alongside others who are facing similar challenges. Group therapy provides a supportive environment where you can practice new skills, share experiences, and receive feedback from both peers and trained therapists.
Whether you're dealing with emotional dysregulation, relationship difficulties, or struggles with life balance, DBT can help you develop the skills necessary to navigate these challenges more effectively.
