Try DBT Therapy Online in London: A New and Effective Therapy for Mental Health Issues

DBT was developed for anyone who has a problem with self-harm and chronic emotional pain. The word “dialectical” is about finding balance: To take a dialectical approach is to recognize you can accept your feelings as they are now, and still want to create a different future. Discovering that balance can help you to react to tough times with more clarity and calm.

All point toward two seemingly incompatible goals:

Acceptance – embracing yourself exactly as you are

Change – making positive transformations in your life

Rather than choosing one option over the other, DBT marries smart thinking lessons with the kind of hands-on skills that quiet the mind, check facts, work through tough feelings, build good relationships, and keep your attention where your feet really are. This two-pronged approach addresses both the symptoms that are troubling you as well as the underlying reasons to wake up in pain. For that reason, the approach is flat-out optimistic and fodder for permanent change.

DBT Skills Training: Four Core Modules

In our DBT skills training, you’ll work through four modules that are the foundation of feeling lighter:

Mindfulness Skills

Mindfulness serves as the cornerstone of DBT, teaching you to stay present and observe your thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment. These techniques help you remain calm and collected during tough times, preventing impulsive reactions that might worsen difficult situations.

Distress Tolerance

When intense emotions strike, distress tolerance skills are your guiding light. Instead of trying to push the painful feeling away, you’re taught how to surf the wave without falling into old, harmful habits. The goal is to let uncomfortable emotions flow through you without toppling you, spending more time cool and steady in the here and now.

Emotion Regulation

These skills that we teach in that class. Big feelings, for many, are associated with mental health challenges. In the part of the program that meets you here, you’ll learn to recognize what triggers these feelings, to understand why they come to visit, and to pick safe, good ways to respond. Turning awareness into action enables you to change your mood without being stuck in it.

Interpersonal Effectiveness

Good relationships are built on good communication that’s kind and clear. You are going to learn skills in this section on how to talk to and listen to people in ways that reinforce trust, rather than adding tension. Daily meditation alters the way you relate to friends or family. Those connections in turn become a reliable resource of support, helping you surf that next wave of emotion rather than being flattened beneath it.

Comprehensive DBT Program Structure

This program was meant to be a seamless experience, not a checklist. All the parts of therapy go together like pieces of a puzzle, and each thing you do helps reinforce the thing before it. It’s not a matter of memorizing the skills and going. You see, each piece is supporting the entire pathway.

Weekly Individual Sessions

Weekly one-on-one meetings are a HUGE part of your success. In a 50-minute session, you and your therapist pursue four goals:

• Reducing a dangerous or painful option.
• Reducing practices that inhibit therapeutic efficacy itself.
• Enhancing every day of your life.
• Ssss: Practicing some new tricks you can use before your session is out.

If something specific arises during the week between sessions — a quick question or a small challenge — the therapist may check in by phone. This keeps the skills you just honed alive. They accompany you in the store, to your room, and everything in between.

Skills Training Groups

A trained instructor runs the skills training component of your therapy each week, and it feels like a live lesson that you get to take from your own computer. You will get a quick, focused lesson, answer any burning questions, and then practice what you just learned with real examples. Since these classes are online, no matter where you live, you are always plugged in to your skills training.

Here are the groups we offer Skills Groups for:

• Adults with various forms of mental illness.
• Teens who need a helping hand created just for them.
• Families need to build a strong and powerful support system around a loved one.

Crisis Coaching

Crisis Coaching comes in for those too-tough moments. While you’re still practicing your skills, and a real-life challenge arises, our therapy team is just a call away. We’ll walk you through a DBT skill right there and then, so every call becomes an icebreaker-sized step toward healing.

Who Benefits from DBT Therapy?

DBT is successful in treating several different issues, such as:

Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and Emotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD).

The treatment we provide is what is recommended by NICE. We hone in on the symptoms that make you feel hazy, helping you direct your mood in a steadier direction and optimizing for healthier choices.

Eating Disorders

If you have binge-eating, bulimia, or some other pattern, DBT is how you handle tough emotions safely. Our skills help you walk away from the harmful habits to start trusting your body again.

Self-Harm and Suicide Prevention

When intense feelings leave you with urges to self-harm or commit suicide, DBT also helps you pause and think. Our program teaches you to recognize and diffuse the emotions that drive self-destructive behaviors, helping lead you on paths that are safer.

DBT Successfully Treats PTSD Following Trauma

Studies also demonstrate that Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) reduces symptoms of PTSD. Patients learn mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotional regulation skills, and the relief they experience sticks.

Addictive Behaviors and Substance Use

Our DBT programs are structured to work directly on addictive, harmful, and impulsive choices. We identify the factors that enable these habits and provide tools to manage them without using substances, enabling clients to regain their insight and to have more control over their behavior.

Specialized DBT for Individuals of All Ages

The Research that backs DBT

Research on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) continues to demonstrate that it helps people of all ages and diverse mental health struggles. It’s called the gold standard by hospitals, universities, and clinics the world over for a reason. You are selecting a course already proven to work.

DBT is a fairly intensive treatment, which typically takes somewhere between six months and two years structure-wise, though many people start to see benefits even before they finish the first set of skills. That’s because the therapy helps you practice new ways to cope every day, so that specific coping skills become more normal and useful habits. The more you practice these skills, the more habitual they become in your life, helping you escape from a quick fix to permanent change.

Frequently Asked Questions

What’s it look like during a DBT session?

A typical DBT session comprises individual therapy and a skills group. In the one-on-one session, your therapist guides you to identify your specific obstacles and what you are trying to achieve. You delve into the four aspects of DBT skills in the group. The teachers convey tips, you swap real-life examples, and you practice the skills together. Every group builds on the one that came before it, so with fresh knowledge and hands-on practice, you eventually accumulate a well-rounded learning experience.

What are the four qualities of DBT?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a four-part skill:

Mindfulness: Practice being in the moment and not judging or putting your mind on other activities.

Distress Tolerance: How to tolerate a crisis and get through it without making things worse or without hurting yourself.

Emotion Regulation: Understand your emotions and practice soothing, shifting, or tolerating intense feelings.

Interpersonal Effectiveness: Improve your relationships by communicating clearly, honestly, and establishing boundaries that work for you.

What are the triggers of DBT?

DBT is useful when unwanted emotions can spike as a result of common triggers — fear of rejection, fear of abandonment, fear of criticism, fear of conflict. Psychotherapy instructs you in how to recognize when these triggers are getting switched on (or what you might call “tuning into the warning lights”) and training you to select calmer, more thoughtful responses instead of reacting in a knee-jerk fashion.

What is the main difference between CBT and DBT?

Both CBT and DBT work with the mind, but they do so in different ways. CBT largely teaches you how to change unhelpful thought patterns. With DBT, on the other hand, you still change your thoughts but also accept your experience. Because DBT was developed to treat intense mood swings, it comes with extras like mindfulness and distress tolerance — tools you don’t commonly find in regular CBT.

When Should You Skip DBT?

DBT is very time and energy-consuming. If you cannot manage a weekly appointment, are experiencing hallucinations, or are not prepared to put new skills into practice outside of therapy, this program may not be best for you. A deep evaluation is what can give you direction.

Who Benefits Most from DBT?

DBT is especially useful for people who have borderline personality disorder, rapid mood changes, self-harm, eating-related matters — anyone whose extreme emotions negatively impact the quality of daily life, really. If your emotions frequently turn you on your head and you’re longing to find balance, it may be a good fit.

Which Is Better for Trauma, CBT or DBT?

Both C.B.T. and D.B.T. incorporate work around trauma, but D.B.T. is probably best for people who experience very strong emotional swings following a traumatic event. The emphasis on self-soothing skills and mindfulness is likely to help you cope with the painful memories and the feelings that accompany them.

What is DBT and Why Does it Work?

DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is all about balancing acceptance and change… accepting things the way that they are, but also focusing your energy on change! You learn how to deal with strong emotions, get through hard times, enhance relationships, and stay in the moment. This work occurs in one-on-one and group therapy sessions that convene each week.

Now, here’s who DBT might not be the best fit for, and what the so-called 24-hour rule looks like in action — the quotes you read below are verbatim. Delete the names and links at the end when you deliver!

For Whom Is DBT Not Intended?

DBT probably isn’t a good fit for those whose substance abuse-related problems, if untreated, would prevent them from participating in the program, for those who are currently actively psychotic, or for anyone who is unable or unwilling to adhere to the program’s basic requirements. That being said, many of those challenges might be better in more condensed treatments, or with only a little deviation from standard DBT methods.

What is the 24-hour Rule of DBT?

The 24-hour rule serves to remind you that when you are very upset, you should take a pause before you make any big decision. You wait one whole day for those profound feelings to settle. This straightforward pause can help you think with clarity and respond—rather than react—when the moment comes.
