What is DBT?
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is an evidence-based treatment approach that can create measurable and sustainable results for people struggling with a variety of issues, such as depression, anxiety, substance misuse, and disordered eating.
The D in DBT stands for the philosophy of Dialectics, which is the principle that two opposing things, such as beliefs or feelings, can both be true. The main dialectic in DBT is balancing acceptance and change.
The B refers to Behavior. DBT grew out of another evidence-based practice, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which means that it focuses on changing emotions, thoughts and behaviors that are currently interfering with your ability to have the life that you want.
The T is obviously Therapy. And a big part of this type of therapy is Mindfulness, a non-judgmental and acceptance-based practice that helps us allow our experiences without trying to suppress or avoid them.
The reason behind learning Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills is to help you enhance your effectiveness at meeting life’s challenges while prioritizing building a fulfilling, worthwhile life.
