Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

DBT is particularly effective for individuals who experience intense emotions that are difficult to manage. The therapy focuses on balancing acceptance and change, helping clients accept their current situation while also working towards positive change. Through DBT, clients learn how to navigate emotional challenges, reduce self-destructive behaviours, and improve their relationships with others.

DBT typically involves a combination of individual therapy sessions and group skills training. During individual therapy, clients work one-on-one with a therapist to address their specific challenges and develop personalised coping strategies. Group skills training focuses on teaching practical skills in a supportive environment, allowing clients to practice and refine these skills with the guidance of a therapist.

DBT provides tools to help you manage intense emotions, reducing the impact of negative feelings on your daily life.

DBT is particularly effective in reducing harmful behaviours, such as self-harm, substance abuse, and suicidal ideation.

Success Stories: Transformations with DBT

At Flourishing, we’ve helped many clients achieve emotional stability and improve their lives through DBT. Here are some of their stories:

Before DBT, I felt like my emotions were controlling my life. The skills I’ve learned at Flourishing have helped me manage my feelings and respond to situations more calmly. I feel more in control and less overwhelmed.

DBT was a lifesaver for me. I used to struggle with self-harm, but the skills I learned in therapy have helped me find healthier ways to cope. I haven’t self-harmed in over a year, and I’m so grateful for the support I received.

My relationships used to be a source of constant stress, but DBT taught me how to communicate more effectively and set healthy boundaries. I’m now able to maintain positive relationships with the people I care about.
