Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an approach to psychotherapy that was developed by Marshell Linehan in the 1980s to treat people with borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT combines elements of cognitive and behavioral therapy, as well as Eastern techniques such as meditation and mindfulness. DBT is based on the idea of ​​dialectics - understanding the conflict of two opposing ideas. In this case, it may be a conflict between the desire to change oneself and accept oneself as one is. The goal of DBT is to help clients learn to manage their emotions and find a balance between self-acceptance and the desire to change. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is one of the most effective methods of treating complex mental illnesses, BPD, suicidal behavior, and others. DBT uses a variety of techniques and methods to help clients manage their emotions, develop interpersonal skills, increase self-awareness, and accept themselves for who they are. Let's look at some of them.1. Radical AcceptanceRadical acceptance is a process that helps the client accept himself and his emotions without judgment or self-criticism. In DBT, radical acceptance is the key to helping the client stop fighting what is beyond their control and begin to approach situations more flexibly.2. Emotion Regulation Emotion regulation is a set of skills that allow a person to control their emotional state. Clients suffering from mental illness may experience intense emotions such as anger, anxiety, and depression, which can lead to self-destructive behavior. DBT uses various emotion regulation techniques such as meditation, breathing exercises, and thought management.3. Mindfulness Mindfulness is awareness and attention to the current moment. Learning to be in the present is one of the key points of DBT. DBT uses mindfulness techniques, such as meditation and focusing on breathing, to help the client focus on the present moment and reduce stress and anxiety.4. Cognitive Restructuring Cognitive restructuring is a method in which the client, having learned to recognize false beliefs and negative thoughts, corrects them into more functional beliefs and thinking. In DBT, clients learn to reduce the level of emotional reactions to painful situations, change negative thinking to more optimistic and adaptive ones, and find a balance between expectations and reality. DBT helps clients replace negative behavior patterns with more functional and adaptive ones. It will help a person to be more effective in communication, more aware and tolerant of other people and situations. Clients can see the results of this therapy early on. Already during its use, emotional well-being, social functioning and quality of life significantly improve. Sincerely, your psychologist Daria Viktorovna Lyapkalo.
