Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
In this type of therapy, people are taught two seemingly opposite strategies: acceptance (i.e., that their experiences and behaviours are valid), and change (i.e., that they have to make positive changes to manage emotions and move forward). Divided into four stages of treatment, typically over the course of one year, DBT focuses on mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotional regulation.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy
This is a short-term, structured form of psychotherapy (talk therapy) that helps people develop skills and strategies for tackling everyday problems. CBT clients learn to identify, question, and change the thoughts and behaviours that cause them difficulty.
Emotion-Focused Therapy
This is a short-term form of therapy that focuses on adult relationships and attachment/bonding. Therapist and clients examine patterns in relationships, and determine how to identify, understand, use, and manage emotions in healthy ways to relieve distress, communicate effectively, connect with others, and overcome challenges. It will also help resolve painful feelings and change problematic emotional states.
