Weekly DBT in Philadelphia- Why Frequency Matters

Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Philadelphia

You were recently diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder and have been told you need to have DBT. You spent time researching Dialectical Behavior Therapy and discovered that you need to attend weekly DBT psychotherapy sessions and DBT Skills Training. 

You wonder why. It feels like too much.

You’ve been struggling for a long time.

I’m going to guess that you’ve been struggling for quite a while now. I’m also going to guess that you’ve tried to fix things on your own or tried going to therapy, and you still feel like sh*t.

You’ve tried to solve the problems in your life by doing what you’ve always done-- by trying to talk yourself out of feeling certain ways because you can’t trust how you’re feeling. When that doesn’t work, you ended up acting on those very same emotions you’ve tried to avoid, leaving you feeling even more guilty, embarrassed, and ashamed.

Your behavior didn’t get you anywhere closer to keeping the people around you. They called you, “crazy” and you started to believe it. You still feel out of control and your relationships continue to cause you emotional pain.   

Philadelphia DBT Therapy is an intensive treatment.

It’s probably taken you years to get to this point. Just like most everything else, real, positive change takes time. This is particularly true with the changes you want to see in your life.

Here’s the thing.

Most people find DBT when other options and counseling didn’t work. Their relationships continue to bring them pain. They feel stuck in their misery.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is an investment in your time AND is worth it. Your life is worth it.

The frequency and time commitment spent in DBT allow you to fully immerse yourself in DBT. It means, those ineffective ways you’ve tried to use to solve your problems didn’t form overnight and it takes time to learn more effective, less destructive ways to manage life.

DBT works because it helps people, like you, learn effective ways to manage those intense emotions that are making you so miserable, so you’ll be able to have more balanced behaviors, feelings, and thoughts. Having emotion regulation will help you in your relationships. All of this takes time. When you have weekly DBT psychotherapy and DBT Skills Training, you’ll reach your goals faster. You’ll create your life worth living faster.

Philadelphia DBT works.

I know that you don’t want to be this way. I know you want to have healthy, meaningful, relationships and find relief from your emotional pain and suffering. As a DBT therapist in Philadelphia, I provide comprehensive DBT therapy to individuals who want to be free of destructive behavior, overwhelming anxiety, and find relief from painful emotions.
