DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) Group

Every day, we face challenges big and small. Our emotional reactions can often dictate the outcome of these challenges and how they affect us. When we are met with trauma early in life, coping with stress can feel nearly impossible, even as we get older. Oftentimes, those who experience trauma go on to feel things so intensely that they struggle to enjoy their lives, build meaningful relationships, and maintain stability. Many people try to manage unstable feelings with actions like intentional self-harm, with the intension of releasing emotional pain. While these maladaptive coping skills may mask pain, these behaviors are inherently dangerous, and ultimately the pain will return. This is where dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) can help.
