Find a DBT Therapist in Brighton & Hove
Dialectical-behaviour therapy (DBT) was developed by Marsha Linehan for individuals who cope with distressing emotions and situations by using self-destructive behaviours such as self-harm, substance misuse and eating disorders. DBT is now being used for treating other mental health conditions such as ADHD, Bipolar and other mood related disorders. DBT is an effective, evidence-based treatment to help people who:
• Get bored easily and do risky things
• Live a chaotic painful live
• Feel suicidal a lot of the time
• Hurt themselves deliberately to change the way that they feel
• Feel moody and irritable and have rapid changes in their moods
• Feel desolate and lonely when alone
• Feel anxious much of the time
• Don’t cope when people leave them
• Feel out of control of their behaviour
• Find it difficult to trust others and difficult to maintain relationships
• Feel depressed a lot
• Feel uncomfortable in a close relationship, or that people are trying to control them
• Feel painful and empty
