Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) often feels like navigating a stormy sea—intense emotions, rocky relationships, and impulsive decisions can make life feel overwhelming. For those facing these challenges, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has emerged as a powerful and proven approach to creating lasting change.
Originally designed to address chronic emotional struggles and high-risk behaviors like suicidal ideation, DBT has evolved into the gold standard for treating BPD. Research consistently shows that comprehensive DBT programs significantly reduce symptoms like anger outbursts, hopelessness, emotional dysregulation, and self-harming behaviors. These programs have also been linked to fewer emergency room visits and inpatient mental health admissions, making them a life-changing option for many.
But the benefits of DBT extend far beyond BPD. This evidence-based therapy has been shown to help individuals manage posttraumatic stress, depression, anxiety, and even Dissociative Identity Disorder.
At The DBT Center of Utah, we’ve been offering comprehensive DBT programs for nearly a decade, witnessing firsthand the transformative impact it can have on our clients. From teens struggling with emotional regulation to adults navigating the complexities of PTSD and anxiety, DBT has helped our clients regain control and cultivate healthier, more fulfilling lives.
We also offer resources for families, including multi-family groups and parent-only groups designed to equip caregivers with practical skills to support their children of any age. We also have a teen-only group that gives your teens a space to be a teen and learn more about what skills will work best for their situations in life, school, with peers, and in family settings. Whether your teen or adult child is enrolled in a DBT program or you’re simply looking for tools to enhance your parenting, our groups are a valuable resource for navigating tough moments with confidence and compassion.
If you’re ready to take the first step toward emotional stability and healthier relationships, we’re here for you. Call us today for a free phone consultation and learn how DBT can help you or your loved one thrive.
