Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
“I was in counseling for 11 years straight and needed it even longer. I tried everything and nothing worked for any length of time. Then I was hospitalized, I was tired of seeing different therapists and trying yet another medication. I had given up hope that anything would work. I [saw] myself as broken and unfixable. Then I found DBT! DBT literally saved my life.”
Post Induction Therapy (PIT)
Post Induction Therapy (PIT) is an approach to trauma treatment and recovery that was developed by Pia Mellody, a renowned clinical consultant, lecturer, and author. It is designed to address the impact of childhood trauma, dysfunctional family systems, and the ongoing effects of such experiences.
PIT incorporates a range of therapeutic techniques and interventions, drawing from various therapeutic modalities such as psychoeducation, experiential therapy, and cognitive-behavioral approaches. It aims to help individuals heal from the wounds of early emotional, physical, and sexual abuse, as well as neglect and abandonment.
The therapy process in PIT involves identifying and resolving trauma-related issues, developing healthy coping skills, and promoting personal growth and resilience. It provides a structured framework for individuals to work through their traumatic experiences, understand the underlying dynamics of their past, and heal from the resulting emotional and psychological wounds.
Through PIT, individuals learn to regulate their emotions, address maladaptive coping mechanisms, and rebuild their self-esteem and self-worth. It focuses on helping individuals develop healthier boundaries, improve communication and relational skills, and create a more fulfilling and purposeful life.
PIT is typically facilitated by therapists or clinicians who have received specialized training in the approach. The therapy sessions are tailored to the unique needs and circumstances of each individual, providing a safe and supportive environment for healing and growth.
By addressing the root causes of trauma and dysfunctional patterns, Post Induction Therapy aims to empower individuals to overcome the impact of their early experiences, heal from the wounds of the past, and build a healthier and more fulfilling future.
The Drink That Really Is A Rapid Antidepressant
The most well-known effect of this drink confirmed by research. Alcohol produces the neural and molecular changes of a rapid antidepressant, new research concludes. The drug lifts depression for up to 24 hours due to its effect on the brain’s chemistry. Naturally, the study’s authors were quick to warn against self-medication. Dr Kimberly Raab-Graham, the study’s first author, said: “Because of the high comorbidity between major depressive disorder and alcoholism there is the widely recognized self-medication hypothesis, suggesting that depressed individuals may turn to drinking as a means to treat
The Clothing That Makes People Feel More Empathy
How clothing affects the empathy that other people feel towards us. Wearing less revealing and more comfortable clothing makes other people feel more empathy towards you, new research finds. However, when women in the study wore a short dress, heels and heavy make-up, it reduced how much empathy others felt towards them. The same was true whether it was a man or woman observing the other woman. When wearing comfortable trousers, a jersey, ballet flats and light make-up, others felt more empathy towards them. The results are likely because revealing
The Classic Sign Of A Social Anxiety Disorder
Are you just shy or is it a social anxiety disorder? The classic sign of a social anxiety disorder is a strong fear of embarrassment or humiliation in social situations, research finds. Bear in mind that many people are apprehensive in unfamiliar social situations or with those they do not know. Social anxiety disorder is more than being shy. To be a social anxiety disorder, the fear should be so great that the social situation can only be born with considerable distress. Either that or social situations are often avoided

Top 3 Signs People Are Falling Out Of Love
What makes people stay in relationships and what makes them want to leave? People who are married or just dating give similar reasons for wanting to leave their partner. These are (1) issues with their partner’s personality, (2) a breach of trust (often, cheating) and (3) partner becoming distant or disconnected. People give slightly different reasons for wanting to stay together. For people who are married, the top reasons to stay together are the investment they have already made in the relationship, family responsibilities and the barriers to leaving (e.g.
How to Begin Healing After Personal Trauma
No one is ever prepared for a tragedy. In fact, most of us go through our lives believing that tragedies happen to other people. When people do experience a distressing or life-threatening event, such as a car accident, natural disaster, or terrorist attack, they often develop extreme anxiety or PTSD. Many develop ongoing problems with their personal relationships and their […]
Counseling for Trauma
Most people will experience trauma in their lifetime whether it’s a car accident, abuse or neglect, the sudden death of a loved one, a violent criminal act, exposure to the violence of war, or a natural disaster. While many people can recover from trauma over time with the love and support of family and friends and bounce back with resiliency, others may discover effects of lasting trauma, which can cause a person to live with deep emotional pain, fear, confusion, or posttraumatic stress far after the event has passed. In these circumstances, the support, guidance and assistance of a therapist is fundamental to healing from trauma.
