At Jeong Healing Therapy, we are proud to offer Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT), a transformative approach designed for individuals who struggle with overcontrol. RO DBT helps foster emotional openness, social connection, and the flexibility needed to embrace life’s uncertainties and joys.
What Is RO DBT?
RO DBT is an evidence-based therapy that focuses on treating disorders and challenges associated with excessive self-control, such as chronic perfectionism, anxiety disorders, obsessive-compulsive personality disorder, anorexia nervosa, and treatment-resistant depression. While self-control is often viewed as a strength, excessive self-control—or overcontrol—can lead to difficulties with emotional expression, social isolation, and rigid thinking.
RO DBT is grounded in the principles of radical openness, which involves cultivating curiosity, willingness, and vulnerability. It emphasizes the importance of building authentic connections with others while learning to embrace uncertainty and adapt to change.
