Common approaches to Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)

Hear from David Harman, Psychologist

View David Harman's profile

What is your go-to approach for dialectical behavior therapy?

My go-to approach for helping people in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is to help them learn to manage intense emotions through their imagination, such as by visualizing themselves experiencing an intense emotion while, in their imagination, they remain in complete control of themselves. I find benefit in helping clients learn how to face their intense emotions because it provides them with tools so that they can handle what are often the most challenging experiences of their lives.

What tools do you teach in dialectical behavior therapy?

In DBT, I teach the following tools:

Mindfulness training.
Distress tolerance, such as through visualization of one's being able to effectively handle a highly distressing occurrence.
Learning to talk about one's feelings in a constructive manner when intense emotions occur, rather than simply acting them out or trying to ignore them.
“I feel” statements that enable one to communicate one's uncomfortable feelings in a constructive manner to others.

How do you know when a client is making meaningful progress in dialectical behavior therapy?

I know a client is making meaningful progress in DBT when they are able to deal with a highly stressful event in an effective and respectful manner.

What can clients do in their personal time to supplement dialectical behavior therapy?

Clients can supplement their time in DBT by journaling their feelings on a regular basis.

What should someone do to prepare for starting dialectical behavior therapy?

To prepare for their first DBT session, an individual can make a list of the biggest challenges and stressors in their life for which they would like some relief.

Cassie is an exceptional therapist! She was extremely understanding throughout and approached my issues in a way that made me feel heard. Cassie has many skills and helped me with coping strategies to get me through my challenges. I do not know how I would have got to where I am now without her support.
