At Social Connection Counseling, we recognize that being overly controlled or rigid, known in therapy as overcontrol, can lead to emotional distance, perfectionism, and social isolation. Radically–Open DBT (RO–DBT) offers a fresh approach that teaches you how to intentionally loosen inner control and cultivate openness, flexibility, playfulness, and meaningful connections.
RO-DBT is a well-researched therapeutic method that promotes radical openness, which means being emotionally expressive, curious, and adaptive.
