Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

A type of talking therapy is dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). It has been adapted specifically for people who experience emotions very strongly.

Applications of DBT

Dialectical behavior therapy is being used at The Meeting Matters to treat clients with severe or persistent mental health problems. Self-harm, eating disorders, addiction, posttraumatic stress disorder, and borderline personality disorder are among the concerns that DBT therapy addresses.

Program Structure

Individual therapy, skills training groups, phone coaching, and a therapist consulting team make up the typical dialectical behavior therapy program at The Meeting Matters. Participants in regular DBT meet once a week for counseling and a skills development session.

What Are the 4 Stages of DBT?

Stage 1: Addressing severe and harmful behaviors. Stage 2: Focus on quality of life including emotion management, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance. Stage 3: Self-worth and social interactions. Stage 4: Enhancing happiness, fortifying relationships, and pursuing life objectives.

DBT at The Meeting Matters

DBT is available both online and in-person at our Islamabad clinic, delivered by qualified clinical psychologists experienced in this specific approach โ€” including for clients working through Borderline Personality Disorder.
