DBT In NYC And The Surrounding Area

By Roger Stewart


A new therapy is now available for those suffering from Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD, ) addiction, eating disorders and other forms mental illness. This new therapy known as DBT in NYC teaches clients how to overcome suicidal tendencies and trends toward self-harm. In doing so, therapists teach individuals that life is worth living. As a result, the therapy has now become quite popular as clients have started to show progress.

In this form of psychotherapy, a therapist goes beyond the symptomatic cause of mental illness and teaches clients in New York and other areas how to create a better life. While many clients have either attempted suicide, cutting or some other self-inflicted harm, this does not mean that all people with the condition do so. In addition, individuals not suffering from mental illness who suffer minor issues with depression can also benefit from this type therapy.

While having taken years of research and development, the process is now considered a support treatment for individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD.) The main cause of BPD being a chemical imbalance in the brain which causes anxiety and depression. Whereas, those without mental illness can still have these issues with the only difference being internal versus external forces. As such, the therapy has proven helpful for those with and without the disorder.

As the process has recently been redesigned to help others whom struggle with everything from addiction to post-traumatic stress disorder, more uses are found on a regular basis. In some cases, individuals have also found success using this application in relation to smoking and other addictive behaviors.

Using a combination of behavioral therapies, the therapy integrates cognition, meditation and mindfulness. For, as many with BPD and other mental issues know, it can often be hard to live in the moment. As such, these two combinations often help to create a sense of calm among a sea of anxiety, depression and distraction in most cases.

In doing so, individuals can become more calm, productive and energetic while also understanding how precious life can be. Whether able to work or otherwise, many clients report increased energy levels and stronger libidos. For, when an individual can let go of stress, focus on the moment and maintain a positive attitude, life itself becomes a far more positive experience.

For those looking to provide this service, therapists must participate in a group training which last approximately four months. There are 4 different adult groups and one youth group session available. The training is on an ongoing basis with new recruits starting at the beginning of each new module. Generally, one can start training within 4 to 5 weeks after registration for one of the four modules. In addition, there are also multi-use modules which allow an individual to learn how to work with families.

To obtain a certificate and be able to serve clients, an individual must complete these 4 levels of training. The training includes modules in mindfulness, emotions and response, distress tolerance and how better to manage a crisis. For example, the latter applies to learning how to better deal with interpersonal relationships when two or more individuals disagree. Once an individual has completed these four modules then one can begin serving clients.
