Relationship patterns don’t come out of nowhere. They’re shaped by past experiences, attachment styles, how you learned to handle conflict and how safe you feel with closeness. These patterns become automatic. They show up before you have time to think.

You might feel overwhelmed by your emotions, stuck in patterns you don’t fully understand, or reacting in ways that don’t match how you want to show up. You may have tried to “figure it out” on your own, or even tried therapy before and still feel stuck.

That’s where DBT comes in.

Anxiety isn’t always loud. Sometimes it looks like overthinking. Or tension in your body. Or never quite being able to relax. You get through your day. You function. But something is always running in the background. And no matter how much you try to “think your way out of it,” it doesn’t fully shift.
