Standard DBT
Our Standard DBT program follows the evidenced-based treatment first developed by Marsha Linehan, Ph.D. While originally created to treat symptoms of borderline personality disorder, standard DBT is helpful for individuals who experience their emotions as being out of control.
This type of emotional vulnerability is often referred to as undercontrolled (UC), meaning the individual is lacking effective self-control. Individuals with an undercontrolled personality style generally struggle to inhibit emotions and behaviors. UC individuals are often highly emotionally expressive, impulsive, and have a heightened reward response (easily excitable). At a maladaptive level, the UC personality style can be associated with externalizing diagnoses, such as borderline personality disorder, conduct disorder, and substance use disorders.
