What is
RO DBT?
Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) is an evidenced-based treatment targeting excessive self-control. Overcontrol (OC) has been linked to social isolation, poor interpersonal functioning, hyper-perfectionism, rigidity, risk aversion, lack of emotional expression, and difficult to treat mental health problems such as obsessive compulsive disorder, restrictive eating disorders, treatment resistant anxiety, chronic depression, and more.
RO DBT specifically works towards building the three important aspects of emotional well-being: openness, flexibility, and social connectedness. We do this through targeting biotemperament. OC individuals are "threat sensitive" meaning they may see the negative rather than the positive first. By working with this biology rather than ignoring it, change begins to happen.
"Just because you think it, doesn't make it true."
-Dr. Thomas Lynch, RO DBT Treatment Developer
Are you overcontrolled?
Many of our RO DBT clients know they are OC as soon as we start exploring OC traits like being a perfectionist, finding it hard to relax, trouble connecting with others, emotionally leaking when they don't expect it, being overly cautious, careful, and dutiful.
Below is a short interview with Hope Arnold, RO DBT Denver Owner about overcontrol and social signaling.
