The Concept Of DBT In NYC

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.

The process has recently been revamped to treat others whom struggle with a variety of psychological issues. While not in the forefront, these include those dealing with addictions, substance abuse and eating disorders. In some cases, individuals have also used the process in efforts to stop smoking or lose weight.

While a number of doctors prescribe anti-depressants to those with mental illness, this process works to create a reality where no prescription drugs are necessary to overcome anxiety and depression. By teaching individuals how to live in the moment, people learn how to let go of past and future concerns while learning to enjoy life in the here and now.

Before teaching clients how to modify behavior using this method and other applications, it is imperative that providers complete the required training. The training to become a provider in this therapeutic form include completing four modules of training. These are mindfulness, regulation of emotions, distress tolerance and how to manage crisis in personal relationships. After which, the provider can then begin teaching others how to use these methods to create a better and more fulfilling life.

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.

Training to become a therapist in this area usually takes approximately 4 months. In some cases, individuals with previous training may be able to move at a faster place. Although, as the training sessions are provided in a group setting, these instances are often few and far between. One reason it takes so long to complete the training is because there are four study modules which must be completed before one can offer services.
