Therapy Types: [CBT (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy): focuses on changing negative thought patterns and behaviors by identifying their connection. Focus: Changes negative thoughts and behaviors and their link to feelings and actions. Approach: Helps you identify and re-frame negative thought patterns to change behavior and feelings. Application: A structured, short-to-medium term therapy for specific issues like anxiety, depression, and substance use disorders. The patient identifies thoughts and behaviors that they want to change, and the therapist helps them create a plan (using coping skills and other tools) to change those thoughts and behaviors. CBT often emphasizes practical solutions for problems.] [DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy): builds on CBT by incorporating mindfulness to help manage intense emotions and distress while also changing unhealthy behaviors. Focus: Balances acceptance of emotions with the need for change. Approach: Teaches skills in four areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Application: Originally for chronic suicidality and borderline personality disorder, it is now used for a broader range of conditions with emotional dysregulation. It is often longer-term and includes components like group skills training. DBT incorporates a dialectical worldview which means two opposite ideas can be true at the same time. DBT balances the acceptance of ourselves where we are, while also changing what we want to change to build the life we want to be living.] [ACT (Acceptance and Commitment Therapy): focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and feelings to take action that aligns with one's personal values. Focus: Acceptance of difficult thoughts and feelings, rather than trying to change them. Approach: Encourages people to live a life rich in meaning by making a commitment to actions aligned with their values. Application: Useful for anxiety, depression, addiction, and other issues where accepting hardship is key to moving forward. ACT is about accepting our thoughts and feelings, without trying to change them. This type of therapy focuses on helping people do what matters to them in life. Put another way, ACT helps us get out of our head and into our life.]
