Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) FOR TEENS
DBT is a highly effective approach for teens struggling with intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges. As a specialist in teen therapy, I use DBT to help teens develop the skills they need to regulate emotions, cope with stress, and improve relationships.
What Makes dBT Effective for Teens?
DBT is especially useful for teens who feel emotionally out of control, deal with anxiety, or engage in self-destructive behaviors! It provides a structured yet flexible framework that helps teens build practical skills they can apply in everyday situations.
How DBT Works:
emotional regulation: Teens learn to manage overwhelming emotions and reduce emotional outbursts.
distress tolerance: DBT teaches skills to handle difficult situations without resorting to harmful behaviors.
Interpersonal Effectiveness: Teens build healthier, more balanced relationships by learning how to communicate effectively and set boundaries.
Mindfulness: This practice helps teens stay grounded in the present moment, reducing anxiety and impulsive reactions.
Teens who go through DBT often see significant improvements in their ability to handle stress, maintain healthier relationships, and make thoughtful, deliberate choices in tough situations. By learning to manage their emotions more effectively, they can feel more in control and confident in themselves.
With DBT, your teen can turn their emotional struggles into strengths, fostering resilience and a more positive outlook on life.
