Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Group
What is DBT?
The Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) group is intended for active duty service members and veterans. DBT has proven to be effective treatment for PTSD. It can improve your ability to handle stress without losing control and acting destructively. This group will build skills in four key areas: distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Participants will do daily homework to practice the skills they learn in the weekly session.
Program Details:
This specialized group will accommodate up to ten individuals for a 12-week session and include a workbook. The group will focus on practical strategies to enhance life skills and focus on acceptance of a participant’s experience as a way to reassure and balance the work needed to change negative behaviors.
