Dialectical behavior therapy
Dialectical behavior therapy is a type of talk therapy based on cognitive behavioral therapy but adapted for people who experience very intense emotions. Dialectical means combining opposing ideas. This form of therapy helps people accept the reality of their lives and behaviors and make necessary changes.
Theory Development
Theory can be defined as a set of principles or guidelines that a counselor adopts to understand people’s thoughts, feelings, and behaviors within a frame of that theory; as well as what causes those thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. Each theory has a different point of view on the cause and effect of behavior, personality, and what techniques a counselor should employ to get to the root cause of those behaviors.
Gestalt Therapy
Gestalt therapy is an approach to psychotherapy that helps clients focus on the present to understand what is actually happening in their lives at this moment, and how it makes them feel in the moment, rather than what they may assume to be happening based on past experience.
