Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT Skill Building
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?
DBT is an evidence-based therapeutic approach developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan in the late 1980s. Through this multifaceted, holistic lens, DBT supports individuals in creating the life they desire. The "dialectical" aspect of DBT speaks to the balance it strikes between acceptance and change. Clients are encouraged to develop radical acceptance of their present-moment experiences while gaining the tools to transform maladaptive patterns of thinking and behavior. This dual emphasis empowers individuals to navigate emotional challenges with increased self-compassion and resilience.
Drawing from the principles of cognitive-behavioral therapy and mindfulness practices, DBT equips clients with a toolbox of techniques to better regulate their emotions, tolerate distress, communicate more effectively, and live with a greater sense of purpose and fulfillment.
Benefits of DBT
Extensive research has demonstrated the effectiveness of DBT in treating various mental health concerns, including suicidal and self-harm behaviors, borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Studies have found that DBT can reduce suicide rates by up to 50% and significantly decrease self-harming behaviors.
