What is DBT
GOLD STANDARD TREATMENT OF
DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOUR THERAPY (DBT)
The term “gold standard treatment of dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)” refers to a widely recognised and highly effective approach to treating certain mental health conditions. This approach uses a specific form of therapy called dialectical behaviour therapy, which was developed to help individuals who struggle with intense emotions, impulsiveness, and difficulty regulating their emotions.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy - DBT - a type of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioural therapy that helps individuals improve their emotional regulation, increase mindfulness, and develop healthy coping skills. It was originally designed for people with borderline personality disorder, but has since been found to be effective for a variety of mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and substance abuse.
One of the reasons why DBT is considered a gold standard treatment is that it is backed by numerous scientific studies demonstrating its effectiveness. In addition, it has a strong track record of positive outcomes for patients, with many individuals reporting reduced symptoms and improved quality of life after engaging in DBT.
Not a ‘one size fits all” treatment
It is important to note that DBT is not a “one size fits all” approach, and may not be appropriate for everyone. However, for individuals who are struggling with intense emotions and difficulty regulating their emotions, Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) can be a life-changing treatment option.
DBT has traditionally been run in in-person weekly group therapy settings. At Balance and Bloom we can teach you the specific skills from DBT in an personalised way in your individual therapy sessions. This means that we can focus on the skills that are most relevant to you without the significant time commitment that has traditionally been required in engaging in DBT group therapy.
