She-Hulk Episode 1’s Therapy Sessions
Soon after Bruce brings Jen to Mexico in order to study her new Hulk powers, he quickly realizes that Jen is more in control of her powers than he is, but subjects her to a series of therapy sessions anyway.
Combining yoga techniques with mindful meditation, Hulk is jealous when Jen seems to excel at everything he asks her to do.
One thing that Bruce says she is not ready for, however, is Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
Bruce Banner describes Dialectical Behavior Therapy as a technique that “allows us to hold two opposing truths at the same time.”
In the real world, DBT is pretty similar to Bruce’s description, whereby the subject indulges in “talking therapy” or “cognitive behavioral therapy” catering to people who experience intense emotions.
The meaning of dialectical is also in line with Bruce’s explanation, as the term refers to the understanding that two seemingly opposite things may both be true.
Some of the goals set out in DBT are to understand and gradually accept the difficult feelings you are experiencing, learn the necessary skills to manage them appropriately, and continue on a path that leads to positive changes.
