Dialectical Behavior Therapy
At EMS, we use evidence-based therapies to ensure our clients receive the best treatment available. As such, Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) is at the forefront of treatment.
What is DBT? Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) uses the concept of a reasonable, emotional, and wise mind to describe a person’s thoughts and behaviors. The reasonable mind is driven by logic, the emotional mind is driven by feelings and the wise mind is a middle ground between the two.
Moreover, wise mind is an inner wisdom that everyone has the capacity for. This includes the ability to apply knowledge, experience and common sense to the situation at hand.
In recovery, living in our wise mind can help us stay calm and stable. It can encourage us to to make choices that help us on our journey to recovery.
