The Concept Of DBT In NYC

By Roger Stewart


A new treatment originated by a doctor to help people who are suicidal and whom struggle with attraction to harming oneself is now available. The therapy known as DBT in NYC and other locales is beneficial for individuals who have a hard time dealing and managing with emotional issues. As the process focuses on the validity of life's struggles and difficulties and how to change perception, it is considered a unique and practical form of psychotherapy.

In most cases, therapists in New York will focus on symptomatic issues rather than the root cause of the problem. While this can be effective, this new therapy takes a different approach. For, this application, unlike other therapies helps individuals create a life worth living as part of the process.

Although it has taken a great deal of research and development, the process is now considered one of the best applications for those with Borderline Personality Disorder. While the disorder is closely related to Bi-Polar disorder, those with the latter can often become far more violent than those suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder. For, when it comes to BPD, most individuals can be pushed to rage but rarely violence.

As the process has recently been redesigned to help others whom struggle with everything from addiction to post-traumatic stress disorder, more uses are found on a regular basis. In some cases, individuals have also found success using this application in relation to smoking and other addictive behaviors.

While a number of doctors prescribe anti-depressants to those with mental illness, this process works to create a reality where no prescription drugs are necessary to overcome anxiety and depression. By teaching individuals how to live in the moment, people learn how to let go of past and future concerns while learning to enjoy life in the here and now.

Those providing this treatment focus on teaching meditation, regulation of emotions, tolerance in times of distress, and interpersonal effectiveness. After which, most individuals can find it easier to appreciate and live life to the fullest. In doing so, individuals learn how to focus attention on reality in the moment rather than past of future concerns. In most cases, these group sessions are offered at a nominal fee, though while rare, there may be some scholarship money available from time to time.

For those looking to provide this service, therapists must participate in a group training which last approximately four months. There are 4 different adult groups and one youth group session available. The training is on an ongoing basis with new recruits starting at the beginning of each new module. Generally, one can start training within 4 to 5 weeks after registration for one of the four modules. In addition, there are also multi-use modules which allow an individual to learn how to work with families.

When it comes to training, individuals must complete the following modules. These include, mindfulness which is considered the core skill of the practice, emotion regulation in order to learn how emotions work, distress tolerance in which the individual learns about crisis management within interpersonal relationships. Once this training is complete, the individual can then teach others the basic practices and philosophies while also providing much needed care and support.
