Introduction to Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Begin your journey of transformation with our specialized Dialectical Behaviour Therapy at Calgary Family Counselling. Our expert team in Calgary and Cochrane is dedicated to enhancing your mental and emotional well-being with personalized DBT strategies.

When To Seek Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

There are several signs that may indicate it’s time to consider dialectical therapy sessions. These include feeling overwhelmed by difficult emotions, engaging in self-destructive behaviors, struggling to manage anger or other intense feelings, feeling disconnected from others, or feeling stuck and unable to make changes in your life. If you’re struggling with any of these issues, DBT may be able to help.

DBT can also be beneficial for people who have already made progress in therapy but feel like they need an extra boost to continue their growth.

Benefits of DBT: Why Choose This Therapy

DBT is especially effective for those dealing with intense emotions or challenging life situations. By choosing DBT, you’re taking a step towards a more balanced and fulfilling life. Benefits include:

1. Improved emotional regulation: Acquire the ability to effectively recognize, comprehend, and manage your emotions to maintain emotional stability and enhanced mental health.

2. Enhanced interpersonal effectiveness: Develop essential skills to communicate assertively, establish boundaries, and sustain satisfying relationships.

3. Greater stress tolerance: Build coping strategies that allow you to manage stress better, minimize impulsive behavior, and navigate crisis situations with calm and composure.
