A cognitive-behavioral treatment combining acceptance and change strategies, originally developed for borderline personality disorder.
From Greek 'dialektikos' (of discussion) + 'behavior' + 'therapy.' Therapy through the dialectic of acceptance and change. Created by Marsha Linehan.
DBT teaches you to hold two truths at once: 'I accept myself as I am AND I want to change.' It builds skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and mindfulness.
