Metamorphosis Psychology Group Inc., offers a comprehensive DBT program. Comprehensive Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment approach designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and develop effective coping skills. Comprehensive DBT typically involves four main components: individual therapy, skills training group, phone coaching, and a therapist consultation team. These components work together to help individuals develop skills in areas like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Here’s a more detailed look at each component:
Individual Therapy:
This involves one-on-one sessions with a therapist to address individual goals, reinforce skills learned in the group, manage crises, and maintain motivation.
Skills Training Group:
This is a weekly group setting where participants learn and practice DBT skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Phone Coaching:
This provides support and guidance between sessions, helping individuals apply skills in real-time situations.
Therapist Consultation Team:
This is a weekly meeting for therapists to discuss cases, problem-solve, and maintain their own skills and motivation.
Key goals of a comprehensive DBT program include:
Reducing life-threatening behaviors like suicide attempts and self-harm.
Decreasing therapy-interfering behaviors.
Improving quality of life by reducing substance use, conflicts, and other issues.
Increasing coping skills, particularly in managing emotions and dealing with interpersonal challenges.
