South Florida DBT

DBT helps clients understand the factors that lead to and maintain self-destructive or self-defeating behaviors and teaches clients more adaptive skills to effectively experience and express emotions, tolerate distress, improve interpersonal functioning and increase attention control and awareness.

 

DBT consistently has been shown in clinical research studies to:

• Decrease impulsivity
• Improve ability to manage emotions and emotional crises
• Improve interpersonal relationships
• Decrease self-destructive and self-defeating behaviors
• Reduce hospitalizations
