What is DBT-Informed Therapy?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a cognitive-behavioral treatment approach that emphasizes the psychosocial aspects of therapy. DBT-Informed Therapy integrates the core principles of DBT into a broader therapeutic framework, focusing on enhancing clients' capabilities by teaching them behavioral skills. The therapy promotes acceptance and change through a compassionate, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship.
Core Components of DBT-Informed Therapy
Agnes Wohl utilizes DBT-Informed Therapy to focus on four primary areas of skill development:
-
Mindfulness: Cultivating an awareness of the present moment allows for a more profound understanding of one's emotions and thoughts.
-
Distress Tolerance: Increasing the ability to tolerate pain in difficult situations, not to change it.
-
Emotion Regulation: Learning to manage and change intense emotions causing problems in a person’s life.
-
Interpersonal Effectiveness: Improving the skills to ask for what one needs, say no, and manage relationship conflicts.
