Intense Emotions, Smarter Choices

Many adults who join DBT skills groups in Jacksonville, FL, are tired of emotional outbursts, broken relationships, and feeling like they’re always “too much.” It’s not that they don’t care; it’s just that they haven’t had the necessary tools to deal with strong emotions without hurting themselves or ruining relationships.

They learn how to respond instead of react, how to set limitations without feeling bad, and how to take care of themselves instead of going back to their old ways. It’s not about being perfect with these skills. They’re about giving yourself a real chance to do things differently.

Adult groups focus on:

  • Wise mind practice: Find the middle ground between emotion and logic to make better decisions
  • DEAR MAN, GIVE, FAST: Easy-to-learn ways to say what you need and keep respect in tough conversations
  • Radical acceptance: Let go of the fight against things you can’t control, so healing can begin
  • Crisis tools: Learn real-life alternatives to self-harm or impulsive choices when things feel unbearable

Our DBT skills groups in Jacksonville, FL, are structured and supportive, helping adults rebuild trust in themselves and others while gaining control over how they handle stress, anger, and fear.
