Dialectal Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
DBT is greatly utilized in our IOP group. Group members build skills to think dialectically. Examples of this way of thinking are:
- Following the middle path, considering all sides to a situation
- Remembering that opposites can both be true at the same time
- Moving away from "either-or" thinking to "both-and" thinking
- Avoiding words like "always" or "never"
- Using "I feel" statements instead of "you" statements
"I am doing the best I can and I can do better, try harder, and be more motivated to change."
Below are some of the skills teens learn to incorporate into their lives via DBT.
