How DBT Skills Help Friends & Family
Improve Unstable Relationships
When a loved one suffers from BPD, the whole family suffers. DBT skills help you respond more effectively and reduce the cycle of conflict and emotional reactivity.
Respond to Concerning Behaviors
Learn how to handle alternating extremes of affection and rejection, dependency and anger, or dangerous and risky behaviors without making things worse.
Reduce Self-Harm and Suicidality
Gain tools to respond to threatening, self-injurious, or suicidal behaviors in ways that are supportive and effective.
Get Support for You
Loving someone with BPD can be difficult. Individual sessions offer emotional support and teach new ways of responding that reduce your own distress.
Additional Options
If you still need additional support, check out our Adult DBT program, Couples DBT program, or contact us for more options.
