Do you feel out of control with your emotions, leading to problematic behaviors and further unpleasant feelings? Sometimes your emotions are manageable, but other times overwhelming? Learn skills to manage emotions, cope with stress, solve problems, make better decisions, and be more mindful and accepting of life's challenges. DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) can help. Developed by Marsha Linehan, DBT is a type of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy effective for anxiety, depression, PTSD, borderline personality disorder, and relationship issues. It teaches that "problem" behaviors are often coping mechanisms for distress.
DBT Benefits: Gain control over intense emotions and reduce impulsivity, enhance self-awareness and live in the present moment, handle crises and distress more effectively, build healthier, satisfying relationships, and gain support through shared experiences. The skills group includes 14 weekly live online 2-hr sessions.
