DBT, or Dialectal Behavioral Therapy, is used to help individuals live in the present while handling stress and learn to regulate their emotions while improving relations with others. Originally developed as a way of treating Borderline Personality Disorder, DBT can be helpful with a variety of scenarios in which the patient displays self-destructive habits, such as eating disorders, substance abuse, and even PTSD. In theory, treatment centers around accepting that all things are interconnected, that change is inevitable, and that opposites can be integrated to move the patient closer to the truth. In practice, it means learned behavioral skills through a range of activities, potential group learning, and in-the-moment phone coaching with your therapist.
