I’m no longer sold on talk therapy. And I recently discovered other modalities that significantly moved the needle for me.
As someone who spent 5+ years in talk therapy, I’ve been getting DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) treatment for about 4 months and god damn am I grateful for both the individual and group therapy. DBT skill based: it’s not only “talking about your feelings.” Concrete skills are learned. There’s homework prescribed.
DBT — full model — has taught me how to 1) regulate my emotions 2) apply distress tolerance skills for when I’ve breached my threshold
Another modality that’s really piqued my interest is IFS.
- TheHumanist 3y agoBut DBT is talk therapy. I'm not familiar with IFS. DBT is still talk therapy while perhaps having a more active aspect to it as well. I can see how that would be more successful for some folks for sure!
- sokka_h2otribe 3y agoThose are literally all talk therapy models..so I think you're still sold on it! Cbt, dbt, ifs, all forms of talk therapy..
