Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy is helpful in helping clients who suffer from a wide range of mental health issues. It is most commonly used for people that are having problems managing their emotions. It typically includes individual and group sessions with focus on skill learning of attention, managing emotions and interpersonal skills.

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy helps individuals to cope with stressful situations and distressing emotions to help improve their interpersonal relationships. During times of stress, a person usually acts automatically with no regard for consequences, and this often leads to self-destructive behaviours such as self-harm, manipulation and poor eating and sleeping habits. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy can help a client to make better decisions.

During sessions, the therapist will discuss different viewpoints, because they share the theory that opposites can, and do, co-exist. The therapist will teach the client helpful skills that will help the client to accept or change a situation.

RRT is a short term, pain-free treatment for trauma, but is used to treat many issues.  It is a process that utilizes innovative techniques, components of evidence-based modalities and multi-level communication to re-wire how the mind processes information, without requiring the client to re-live the trauma.  RRT treats the whole mind (conscious and unconscious), so results are not only fast, but lasting. It is best to consult with your RRT practitioner first, to determine if your issue is a good fit for RRT.
