Are you ready to try Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to overcome a pattern of unstable relationships and reactive emotional outbursts? Perhaps you have landed in the psychiatric hospital due to erratic behavior. Perhaps you have reached a point where things just are not working for you and you are ready to make a change. Control these symptoms: Frantic attempts to prevent abandonment. Unstable relationships - alternating between "I love you" and "I hate you". Impulsive behavior such as binge eating, reckless driving, or spending. Self-mutilation or suicidal thoughts. Mood swings. Anger that is out of control or inappropriate. DBT is a specialized program that emphasizes learning and practicing skills to improve the ability to maintain appropriate behavior despite intense stressors. Some assumptions of DBT: 1. People are doing the best the can, and they can do better. 2. People have not caused all of their problems, but they need to solve them anyway. Participation in Kim Sullivan's DBT of Elk Grove involves weekly Skills Group and weekly Individual Therapy. The Skills Group meets on Wednesdays, 6:15-8:15 p.m. or Thursdays, 6:45-8:45 p.m. The groups are open to both adults and adolescents. Individual Sessions are scheduled between 8 a.m and 8p.m. Monday to Saturday.
