Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a fundamental aspect of our practice. This evidence-based and transformative method is particularly effective in treating complex emotional and behavioral issues. We customize DBT to the specific needs of Chico residents, considering the unique dynamics of our community. DBT goes beyond merely reducing stress; it facilitates profound and enduring change by balancing acceptance and transformation. Our objective is to provide you with practical skills and tools to effectively manage both your personal and professional lives.

Understanding DBT at Bydand Therapy

DBT is based on the concept that our thoughts, emotions, and behaviors are interconnected. It emphasizes balancing acceptance with change. This approach is particularly pertinent in Chico, CA, where individual stressors can vary widely. By addressing your specific challenges, DBT helps identify and disrupt the patterns causing distress, offering practical strategies for meaningful change.

Core Components of DBT:

• Mindfulness: Developing the ability to remain present and fully engaged in the moment.
• Distress Tolerance: Building strategies to endure pain and crisis situations without making them worse.
• Emotion Regulation: Learning to manage and change intense emotions that create difficulties.
• Interpersonal Effectiveness: Enhancing your ability to navigate relationships successfully, ensuring your needs are met while maintaining self-respect and improving relationships.

Goals of Individual DBT Therapy Sessions:

• Safety: Reducing suicidal and self-harming behaviors, if applicable.
• Therapeutic Productivity: Limiting behaviors that interfere with effective therapy.
• Goal Achievement: Helping you achieve your goals and improve your quality of life by addressing what's hindering your progress, such as mental health conditions or relationship issues.
• Skill Acquisition: Teaching you new skills to replace unhelpful behaviors.

Your therapist may ask you to keep a diary to track your emotions and actions, identifying patterns of behavior. You’ll bring this diary to your sessions so you and your therapist can decide what to focus on during each session.

These skills are crucial for navigating life’s ups and downs in Chico, fostering a sense of empowerment and balanced well-being.

Effectiveness and Evidence: DBT’s effectiveness is well-supported by extensive research, demonstrating its ability to manage conditions such as borderline personality disorder, chronic suicidal ideation, self-harm, anxiety, depression, and PTSD. At Bydand Therapy, we integrate the latest DBT techniques, ensuring your treatment is tailored to the Chico lifestyle and proven to deliver significant results.
