DBT Prolonged Exposure

Trauma can leave deep emotional scars that affect how you feel, think, and relate to others. If you’ve experienced trauma and also struggle with intense emotions, self-harm, or difficulty coping, DBT Prolonged Exposure (DBT PE) may offer a path to healing.

DBT PE is an evidence-based treatment that combines the powerful tools of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) with the proven effectiveness of Prolonged Exposure therapy. This approach is designed specifically for individuals with PTSD who also experience emotion dysregulation or high-risk behaviors.

Through DBT PE, you’ll:

• Build a foundation of emotional and behavioral stability using core DBT skills (like mindfulness, distress tolerance, and emotion regulation)

• Process traumatic memories in a structured, supportive way through gradual exposure and guided recall

• Learn how to face triggers safely, reduce avoidance, and regain control over your life

Healing from trauma is possible—and you don’t have to choose between stability and growth. DBT Prolonged Exposure makes space for both.
