Dialectical Behavioral Therapy
What Is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy?
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapy that is a branch of cognitive-behavioral therapy. This approach helps identify and develop an individual’s emotions, be coherent at the moment, take care of relationships, and cope with stressful situations. DBT was first developed in the early 1990s. A psychology major researcher named Marsha Linehan at the University of Washington originated these techniques with individuals who suffered from borderline personality disorders and chronic suicidal thoughts.
How DBT Works
Acceptance of one’s thoughts, feelings, and experiences without judgment is the first step. With DBT a person develops the ability to establish, communicate and understand their emotions, therefore, in the long run, helps regulate emotional responses to similar situations. There are 4 modules to DBT; mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation.
