DBT is Dialectical Behavior Therapy. It combines cognitive therapy and mindfulness as a method to gain control over the extreme levels of emotion that lead to so much of the chaos in our lives. The "dialectical" part refers to holding two ideas of good in mind at the same time and recognizing the truth in each, even when we don't like that truth that isn't the one we felt/thought first. Take a look at the sites online--there are many. Another treatment that's having some success is called Mentalization. I don't have any experience with it. DBT did help me. Anything methods you follow, though, have to be.....uh, followed. It's all practice with me.
