Do You Feel...

If you recognize these symptoms in yourself or someone you know, reaching out to the experts at Foundations can be a convenient and effective way to start addressing these challenges. The team at Foundations is ready to guide you through your journey toward healing and personal growth. Taking that first step to seek help can lead to significant positive changes in your life.

Intense Mood Swings

Individuals who experience rapid and severe changes in mood may benefit from DBT. These mood swings can interfere with daily functioning and relationships, making it difficult to maintain stability.

Chronic Feelings of Emptiness

A pervasive sense of emptiness or lack of purpose can be a sign that DBT is needed. This feeling can lead to behaviors aimed at filling the void, which are often unhealthy.

Self-Harm or Suicidal Behaviors

DBT is particularly effective for individuals who engage in self-harm or have suicidal thoughts and behaviors. The therapy provides tools to manage these urges safely.

Difficulty Regulating Emotions

Struggling to control intense emotions or experiencing emotional outbursts can indicate a need for DBT. This therapy helps individuals learn how to manage and regulate their emotions more effectively.

Unstable Relationships

Frequent conflicts, intense relationships, or an inability to maintain stable and healthy relationships can be addressed through DBT. The therapy focuses on improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Impulsive Behaviors

Engaging in risky or impulsive behaviors, such as substance abuse, binge eating, or reckless driving, can signal the need for DBT. The therapy teaches strategies to control impulsivity and make healthier choices.

Fear of Abandonment

An intense fear of being abandoned or rejected, often resulting in frantic efforts to avoid real or imagined abandonment, can be mitigated through DBT’s skills for managing anxiety and building self-worth.

Black-and-White Thinking

Seeing situations or people in extremes (all good or all bad) can create significant distress and interpersonal difficulties. DBT helps individuals develop more balanced and nuanced perspectives.

Persistent Anxiety or Panic Attacks

Chronic anxiety or frequent panic attacks that interfere with daily life can be effectively managed with DBT, which includes mindfulness and distress tolerance techniques.
