I'm kinda new here and posted something mid-April. Just went back and found more answers to my post I didn't know about. One of the answers said they were in DBT. I have no idea what that is. Could someone help?

DBT is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. It's an upcoming therapy that many clinicians and agencies are getting in on.
DBT is for persons who struggle with emotional regulation, originally developed to treat clients diagnosed with borderline personality disorder. DBT believes that our FEELINGS drive our behaviors, where as CBT (cognitive BT) believes that it's our thoughts. DBT in its purest form has a group and individual therapist. Groups focus on sets of skills for a client to use. There are 4-5 main components. 1. Distress Tolerance Skills 2. Mindfulness Skills 3. Emotional Regulation Skills 4. Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills and sometimes 5. Middle Path Skills. www.dbtselfhelp.com is a wonderful resource. |

Note: Some aspects of DBT are now used for people with other disorders, such as bipolar disorder. "Mindfulness" is really popular now, and it's part of DBT. It was first devised for borderlines, though!

I am also doing DBT self-help at that dbtselfhelp site.
I also belong to bordertown_dbt@yahoogroups.com. Every day I hear ppl there share about how they use dbt and there are a couple of ppl on t here that share affirmations every day. It's great. Billi

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
