[CONNECTICUT, 06/03/2020] – According to the National Alliance on Mental Health, around 1.4 percent of the adult population in the U.S. has borderline personality disorder (BPD). People with BPD primarily struggle with managing their emotions.

Borderline personality disorder makes people feel extended periods of intense emotions, so it is more difficult for them to calm down after their emotions have been triggered. This difficulty in managing emotions can lead to relationship problems, impulsive behaviors, and poor self-image. It may also lead to self-harm and suicidal ideation.

With the coronavirus pandemic being a major stressor to many people, those who experience BPD need help in managing their emotions now more than ever. Dialectical behavioral therapy or DBT, offered by the Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Health, is designed to help address this particular problem.

Manage Emotions in Healthier Ways

The Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Health is a Connecticut-based private practice providing a range of mental health services, including DBT. Their DBT treatment team is composed of professionals who have undergone the highest level of training to help patients address BPD.

The treatment process begins with a thorough assessment of patients to determine whether they require DBT. The team works with each individual or family to create a custom treatment plan using different modes of treatment. These include a 45-minute individual therapy once or twice a week, a 90-minute group skills class weekly, and phone coaching.

The DBT team also conducts a regular meeting to ensure that therapists are providing compassionate, client-centered care that adheres to the DBT model.

With DBT treatment from the Center for Cognitive and Behavioral Health, people who experience borderline personality disorder receive proper care from a safe, comfortable, and supportive facility.
