“Over-controlled” personality types benefit from “radically open” Dialectical Behavior Therapy (or RO DBT).
What does it mean to be “over-controlled?”
Over-controlled personalities exhibit too much self-control, behavioral and cognitive inflexibility, inhibited emotions, detail-focused processing, and perfectionism.
Over-controlled coping develops because it initially leads to success, as self-control is highly valued by society. However, disorders of over-control can lead to social isolation and long-term depression. RO DBT skills class teaches skills needed to overcome over-controlled coping
By working on social relationships with others, players develop their capacities to form long-lasting social bonds, share valuable resources, and work together. Joining in communal activities, like D&D, sends a powerful message to our brain—that we are part of a tribe and accepted.
RO DBT with D&D provides a safe place to become uninhibited and to try out new behaviors, free of consequence.
The program includes:
- 1 individual therapy session per week (1 hour)
- 1 RO DBT skills class a week (1 hour)
- 1 D&D session per week (2 hour)
- Total cost of $325/week
