DBT Group Therapy

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of psychotherapy that has proven effective in helping individuals manage their emotions, cope with stress, and improve their overall mental health. DBT is often used to treat conditions such as borderline personality disorder, substance abuse, and mood disorders. DBT can offer several unique benefits to those struggling with mental health conditions when delivered in a group setting.

‍

One of the primary benefits of group DBT is that it provides a safe and supportive environment where individuals can share their experiences with others who are going through similar struggles. Sharing experiences within a group can help reduce feelings of isolation and promote a sense of belonging. 

‍

Additionally, group therapy can help individuals learn new social skills and gain insight into how others perceive and respond to their behavior.

DBT in a group setting can also be more cost effective than individual therapy. Individuals can access treatment at a lower price by sharing the cost of the therapist's time and expertise. 

‍

Individuals who go through the dbt skills group have improved their relationships, reduced emotional suffering, managed their anxiety, and rediscovered hope. At Grouport, our prices are affordable compared to therapy with your licensed therapist. Our dialectical behavior therapy series starts at $299 for 12 weeks total.

‍

Another advantage of group DBT is that it allows individuals to practice new skills in a safe and supportive environment. For example, individuals may practice mindfulness techniques, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills with other group members. Practicing with other participants can help to build confidence and provide a sense of mastery over their emotions and behaviors.

The Rise in Telehealth and Online Therapy

With the rise of telehealth and online therapy, group DBT is becoming more accessible to individuals who may not have access to in-person therapy. Online group therapy can be particularly beneficial for those who live in remote or rural areas, have mobility issues, or have a busy schedule that makes it challenging to attend in-person therapy sessions. Online therapy can also be more convenient for individuals who may feel uncomfortable in a traditional therapy setting or have social anxiety.

‍

There are several reasons why online group therapy may be an excellent option for DBT. Firstly, individuals can access online group therapy from the comfort of one's own homes, which can help individuals feel more at ease and less anxious about attending in person. Additionally, online group therapy can be more flexible and accessible, allowing individuals to attend therapy from anywhere with an internet connection. This can be particularly beneficial for those who live in rural areas or have mobility issues.

‍

Another advantage of online group DBT is that it can provide a sense of anonymity and privacy that can be important for some individuals. In an online group setting, individuals can share as much or as little about themselves as they feel comfortable. Having a sense of obscurity and privacy helps reduce shame or embarrassment and promotes more open and honest dialogue.
