Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT)
Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a type of talking therapy. It’s based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), but it’s specially adapted for people who feel emotions very intensely.
Why Dialectical Therapy?
DBT was initially designed to treat people with suicidal behavior and borderline personality disorder. But it has been adapted for other mental health problems that threaten a person’s safety, relationships, work, and emotional well-being.
The aim of DBT is to help you:
- Understand and accept your difficult feelings
- Learn skills to manage them
- Become able to make positive changes in your life.
DBT is known to be a treatment for those with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), which for the first time gave this diagnosis treatment proven to work and helped with reducing the stigma of BPD. It is considered the standard of care for those who struggle with suicidality and have BPD. It’s known for treating difficult-to-treat problems and diagnoses, with BPD, not a required diagnosis. It is proven to treat many diagnoses and is often considered when other treatments didn’t work. DBT can give hope of recovery when other treatments have not been effective.
