In this clinical case, we explore the treatment journey of Sarah, a 16-year-old girl grappling with emotional dysregulation, self-harm, suicidal ideation, and the aftermath of trauma. Guided by expert Kristen Galloway, Ph.D., the case delves into Sarah’s complex background, including family dynamics, unhealthy relationships, and significant life stressors. Utilizing dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), the treatment plan focuses on building skills in mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. The goal is to help Sarah achieve a life worth living by addressing safety concerns, improving her relationships, and setting life-affirming goals.
