Online therapy is way easier to fit in than traditional therapy. No commute to appointments means you can do a session over lunch, before work, after work without adding two hours of travel time. Some people do therapy at 7am before logging on, others do it at 7pm after work. You can even do it from your office if you have privacy. The flexibility is the whole point, you're already stretched thin with work demands, so eliminating the commute to therapy makes it actually manageable.

Currently, no, Grouport doesn't directly accept insurance as we are out of network. However, many clients get reimbursed through out-of-network benefits. Upon request, Grouport provides detailed receipts you can submit to your insurance company for potential reimbursement. Whether you get reimbursed and how much depends on your specific plan's out-of-network mental health coverage.

Resistance is normal. It’s important to consider what anger may be costing you. Treatment works better with internal motivation, but even reluctant people can improve if they actually try. Many resistant participants become engaged once they see benefits, feel heard rather than judged, and recognize their role in problems.

Self-blame is extremely common in trauma survivors and is addressed in trauma therapy. Self-blame feels like protection but can actually maintain PTSD and shame. Therapy gently challenges these beliefs over time. This is core trauma processing work and what happened wasn't your fault.

Start wherever you can. Depression can make everything feel impossible, including seeking help. A single session is better than none. Remind yourself you don't have to be energetic in therapy and understand that waiting until you feel fully better to start therapy means never starting at all. If you can minimally participate, therapy works even when you're struggling significantly. Momentum is built gradually.

That's one of the goals and identity solidifies over the course of treatment. Identity development is a DBT outcome which emerges indirectly as opposed to being a specific target of treatment. Identity consolidates through values clarification and reduced relationship chaos. As a result of BPD you may not know your preferences or values, or it can change drastically based on who you're with and this can result in feelings of emptiness and profound confusion. As DBT progresses, first, stability increases with more consistent actions and choices, then authentic values emerge, and finally identity of knowing who you are naturally forms.

Opposite action means doing the opposite of what your emotion is urging you to do, but only when the emotion doesn't fit the facts or acting on it would make things worse. If you're scared but there's no real danger, approach rather than avoid. If you're sad and want to isolate, get active and reach out to people. If you're angry inappropriately, be kind instead of attacking. If you're ashamed of something that's not actually shameful, share it instead of hiding. This works because acting opposite to the emotion eventually changes the emotion itself, emotions are partly driven by behavior. Avoiding makes fear worse, approaching reduces it. Isolating makes depression worse, connecting reduces it. Opposite action is incredibly hard to do because it feels completely wrong in the moment, but it's one of the most powerful DBT skills.

Yes, interpersonal effectiveness skills specifically address relationships, this is a huge part of DBT. DBT includes skills focused on communication, boundaries, and emotional regulation in relationships. These help you navigate conflict and respond rather than react. DBT acknowledges that you can't just express whatever you feel however you want, you need to balance relationship goals with self-respect and effectiveness. DBT helps with lashing out in relationships & rage, detachment, mistrust, fear of abandonment and more.

No. This is an educational program, not crisis services. For emergencies, call 988 (Suicide & Crisis Lifeline), text "HELLO" to 741741 (Crisis Text Line), or go to the nearest emergency room. If you frequently experience crises, you need ongoing therapy with crisis access, not just the DBT self-guided program. So if you find yourself having frequent crises it means that you need more intensive care that consists of some degree of both individual therapy and group therapy that is focused on DBT.

The main benefit of the program is the ability to watch the video sessions at your own pace, and there’s a year's worth of videos (e.g. 48 videos with each one corresponding to a specific topic being addressed). The program is self-paced and meant to be completed on your own schedule. The content is professionally developed by licensed therapists who specialize in DBT and follows the evidence-based DBT curriculum. It's designed for people who want to learn DBT skills on their own at their own pace, or for additional accountability to adhere to DBT skills in conjunction with DBT therapy. Through watching and rewatching the videos, as well as reviewing all the worksheets, you’ll learn the material independently.

It's designed for individual skill-building. Some couples find working through the material together strengthens their relationship while others prefer learning independently then discussing applications.Couples therapy would be better for relationship work specifically, though learning these skills individually could certainly help your relationship. DBT skills support healthy relationships and improved communication.
