Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) in Redlands

At Into the Light, we offer Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help men build emotional resilience, improve relationships, and enhance overall well-being. DBT is particularly effective for individuals struggling with intense emotions, self-destructive behaviors, and difficulties in interpersonal relationships.

Understanding Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT):

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a therapeutic approach that was originally developed to treat individuals with borderline personality disorder, but it has since proven to be highly effective in addressing a wide range of emotional and behavioral challenges. DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with elements of mindfulness and acceptance strategies. One of its core principles is the balancing of acceptance and change, recognizing the need to accept individuals as they are while simultaneously encouraging personal growth and behavior change. DBT equips clients with a range of skills to manage emotions, improve interpersonal relationships, and navigate distressing situations. It is particularly beneficial for those struggling with emotion regulation, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and impulsivity. DBT’s emphasis on validation, self-compassion, and coping strategies provides individuals with the tools they need to create a life worth living, even in the face of significant emotional turmoil or challenging circumstances. This integrative approach has made DBT a valuable resource in the field of mental health, promoting resilience and emotional well-being.
