Struggling with intense emotions and self-destructive behaviors can leave you feeling trapped and exhausted. At Lenape Wellness Center, our immersive residential DBT program offers you a powerful reset. With compassionate 24/7 professional support at our serene Pennsylvania campus, we help you regain emotional balance and rebuild your life.
What Dialectical Behavior Therapy Is
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), developed by psychologist Marsha Linehan, is an evidence-based approach proven highly effective for conditions like borderline personality disorder and chronic self-harm behaviors. DBT emphasizes balancing acceptance with change, teaching practical skills across four key modules:
- Mindfulness Skills: Helping you remain present and grounded.
- Distress Tolerance Skills: Guiding you through crises without harmful actions.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills: Improving your relationships through clear, assertive communication.
- Emotion Regulation Skills: Assisting you in managing overwhelming feelings.
