Christchurch Needs a DBT Skills Group

DBT stands for Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. It is a not very illuminating name for a deeply practical and effective form of therapy. DBT was developed to help those that other forms of therapy have failed to help. It is increasingly researched and shown to be effective with a wide range of issues (including eating disorders and addictions), but in particular has been shown to be effective with people who are highly emotional, and may hurt themselves. Some of these people may have received a diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. 

Psychologists, Counsellors, and Psychotherapists have been doing DBT with clients in Christchurch on a one to one basis. That's good, but the full DBT treatment also involves attending a DBT skills group. This is an opportunity learn and practice the DBT skills with other people. We're starting a small DBT skills group, and expect places to fill up quick. Get in touch to find out more and avoid being on a waiting list.
