Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy

Similar to Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Radically Open DBT is also a skill based approach to mental health treatment. Radically Open, however focuses on treating those who are over controlled in their emotions, often inhibiting their expression of feelings as well as inhibiting their own experiencing of emotions. Radically Open has three main areas of focus

-Encouraging receptivity and openness to new feedback to help disconfirm old, inhibiting belief about self and the world.

-Increasing flexibility so that shifting to the demands of an ever changing world comes more easily.

-Encouraging intimacy and social connectedness to increase the richness of one’s life experience.
