Dr. Julie Orris talks on Dialectical Behavior Therapy and coping with expected anxieties of living through COVID-19
On this episode of Sanity podcast, Dr. Julie Orris and Dr. Jason Duncan discuss Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, or DBT. DBT was originally designed as a treatment for adults with borderline personality disorder (BPD) to improve emotional regulation and decrease harmful, impulsive behaviors. Dr. Orris discusses the importance of dialectics, or opposing concepts in DBT, and a core purpose of the treatment is to “find the middle path.” Since the foundation of DBT, it has been well-researched and is an effective treatment not only for BPD, but for other mental health concerns in adults and children, such as anxiety or depression. Dr. Orris explains DBT has four distinct elements: emotional regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness. She discusses how mindfulness is taught in between each module because awareness of the present moment is an integral skill to DBT. At the end of the episode, Dr. Orris and Dr. Duncan discuss anxiety related to COVID-19 and how many of the fears we have are realistic. Using a DBT mindset, Dr. Orris encourages people to “find the middle path” of what reduces their anxiety about COVID-19 but allows them to live a meaningful life.
