DBT is found to be efficient and highly effective for those experiencing emotional distress, conflict issues, borderline personality, suicidal ideation, C-PTSD, trauma and addiction.
Ever wondered how Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) can make a difference in addiction recovery? In this episode of 'Coming Up for Air', host Annie Highwater sits down with Lisa Bond, a seasoned DBT Specialist, to break it all down. DBT isn't just a buzzword; it's a game-changer for those grappling with emotional turmoil, conflict, borderline personality disorder, suicidal thoughts, C-PTSD, trauma, and addiction.
Lisa explains how DBT equips people with the skills to manage their emotions, dial up or down their intensity, and navigate life's ups and downs. This is part one of a two-part series that promises to be both enlightening and practical. Whether you're dealing with addiction yourself or supporting someone who is, you'll find valuable takeaways here. Lisa emphasizes the importance of finding the right therapeutic fit and not settling for less.
She also highlights the power of distraction techniques to help manage crises and avoid making situations worse. Self-validation is another crucial tool she discusses—learning to validate yourself can be life-changing, especially for those who have experienced trauma. The conversation touches on the importance of balance and avoiding black-and-white thinking, which can be particularly challenging when dealing with addiction and trauma. By becoming more self-aware and focusing on intent rather than reaction, individuals can improve their communication and relationships.
