DBT Groups
At Sunstone Counseling, we offer a range of DBT groups to help individuals develop skills for managing emotions, improving relationships, and building a life worth living. DBT is a powerful therapy that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices.
What is DBT?
What is DBT?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of therapy designed to help people who experience intense emotions, have difficulty managing relationships, and engage in self-destructive behaviors. DBT teaches skills in four key areas:
- Mindfulness: Paying attention to the present moment without judgment.
- Distress Tolerance: Coping with difficult emotions without making things worse.
- Emotion Regulation: Understanding and managing emotions effectively.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: Communicating needs and setting boundaries in relationships.
