SEARCHING FOR DBT THERAPY IN GRIFFITH?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based psychotherapy originally developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan in the early 1990s to support individuals diagnosed with borderline personality disorder and emotional dysregulation.
At The Counselling, Mediation, and Relationship Centre in Griffith, Donna Piromalli utilises DBT principles to help individuals better manage emotions, tolerate distress, strengthen interpersonal relationships, and cultivate mindfulness skills.
Drawing on principles from cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness-based approaches, DBT combines strategies of acceptance and change to support individuals in creating healthier emotional responses and a more meaningful life.
Research has shown DBT may assist in reducing behaviours and challenges associated with:
- Suicidal behaviours
- Non-suicidal self-injury
- Psychiatric hospitalisation
- Treatment dropout
- Substance use
- Anger and emotional outbursts
- Depression
- Lashing out
- Binge eating
- Stress and anxiety
DBT is not a suicide prevention program. It is a therapeutic approach designed to help individuals build a life worth living.
