What is DBT?

DBT is a skills-based therapy where the general goal is to "learn how to change your own behaviours, emotions, and thoughts that are linked to problems in living" (Linehan, M., 2015). DBT sets out to solve these problems in living by providing a set of acceptance and change-based skills aimed at increasing awareness of the present moment (Mindfulness); tolerating distress and accepting reality (Distress Tolerance); understanding and regulating emotions (Emotion Regulation); and improving interpersonal communication (Interpersonal Effectiveness).

Who does DBT help?

DBT was initially developed as a therapy to treat individuals that who presented with high suicidality and self harming behaviours, high therapy drop-out rates, and frequent hospitalizations. It was the first ever psychotherapy to be shown via controlled trials to be effective in treatment of Borderline Personality Disorder. The efficacy of DBT has been demonstrated in the treatment of many other conditions including but not limited to: ADHD, PTSD, Substance Use, Mood Disorders (Depression, Bipolar Disorder), Eating Disorders, and family members of suicide attempters and/or BPD.

What's so fantastic about the DBT skills is that they are life skills that anyone, no matter their struggle (or strength!), can benefit from learning. The skills can be adapted and woven into psychotherapy sessions and client interactions, where DBT is not the main modality.

About DBT HOUSE

DBT House was established as a resource to help educate and inspire clinicians interested in learning more about DBT. What makes DBT House's approach different than other training programs is the experiential element we bring to DBT Training. In this participatory experience, you will learn DBT by actually doing DBT. That is why our courses are 11 and 18 sessions. Through participating in Skills Group yourself,  just as a client would, you will be better equipped to learn and apply DBT.

DBT HOUSE is founded and operated by Hailey Goldberg. Hailey is a Registered Social Worker and one of the few Canadian certified DBT clinicians by the Linenan Board of Certification™. The DBT HOUSE Team of Skills Trainers is comprised of experienced, talented DBT clinicians and educators who are eager to share their passion for this work with you!
