Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that integrates mindfulness techniques with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT).
DBT is a versatile therapy that is beneficial for treating mental health disorders, along with substance abuse and has been shown to be highly effective for those in recovery. Our skilled therapists use DBT to help individuals with self-validation and help to make positive behavioral changes in their lives.
At Pacific Breeze Recovery we use the key components when it comes to DBT.
Distress Tolerance: These skills help individuals better manage their response to stressful events without relying on substance use. DBT teaches healthy coping techniques to tolerate distress effectively.
Emotion Regulation: Learning to regulate overwhelming emotions is crucial in recovery. DBT helps individuals gain control over their emotional responses, preventing impulsive actions.
Mindfulness: Mindfulness involves focusing on the present moment without judgment. It helps individuals stay grounded and reduces distractions related to past events or future worries.
Interpersonal Effectiveness: Improving communication and conflict resolution skills enhances relationships. DBT helps individuals build healthier connections with others.
