What is DBT?

Eye Movement Desensitization & Reprocessing (EMDR)
EMDR is a therapeutic technique originally developed by Francine Sharpiro in order to help people find relief from the emotional distress they feel related to traumatic and/or upsetting life experiences.
Compassion Focused Therapy (CFT)
Compassion focused therapy is an evidenced based practice built on principles of mindfulness, neuroscience, cognitive behavioral therapy and Buddhist psychology originally developed by Dr. Paul Gilbert.
Yoga & Meditation
Research has shown that part of how we feel emotionally is triggered by our facial expressions and body postures. Our bodies communicate how we are feeling to our brain, so by changing our body, we can influence our emotional state.
