The Benefits Of Dialectical Behavior Therapy In NYC

By Tammie Caldwell


It is important to find the right type of psychological method in order to get ahead with your process. Dialectical Behavior therapy in NYC is one thing that has been helping many people since it began. It particularly works well with people who are suffering with borderline personality disorder issues all of their lives.

The therapy was, in fact designed for patients who had borderline issues or those who were known to have tendencies towards suicide and self harm. However, it has now branched out and people with eating disorders, addicts or PTSD also benefit from this type of therapy. It is about changing the behavior into something which one can cope with on a daily basis.

It has been modified from cognitive therapy where the therapist will work on the behavior patterns in either a group format or in individual sessions. This process depends on the client and their personality and the severity. They may want to discuss how things have gone during the week and how things need to be improved. More attention is needed in a case like this.

Patients can also opt for group therapy, and the therapist will probably discuss this with the client beforehand. Everyone is different and you may have to have a few sessions beforehand to see what will be right for you. In an individual therapy session, you will discuss what had happened in the past week which was a problem for you.

There are various aspects to this method which is why it works and why the success rate is high. It is very different to something like talk therapy, which would be beneficial to another type of client. Someone with emotional problems will need to know what to do when they are set off by someone, and this happens on a daily basis.

A borderline patient will have problems everyday because they will come into contact with people who are going to set them off emotionally and this type of therapy will teach how to handle their emotions in the best way possible. It focuses on how to be gentler with others and how to retain yourself respect so you can get by on a day to day basis.

This type of therapy is also based on the Buddhist approach of being more mindful and aware. Of course, it is not religious, but it teaches one what to do when faced with a crisis and not to lash out, but rather focus on being in the moment. It does not come overnight so one has to be patient and work with the right therapist in order to get the best results that you are looking for.

There are DBT therapists in New York that have been helping patients since this method has been developed. Something like borderline personality disorder is not easy to live with, and it is not easy to live with someone who has this either. One needs to focus on the therapy and be willing to improve with the methods that are taught.
