 Do you struggle with navigating stressful situations and get hung up on all or nothing thinking? Dialectical behavioral therapy, DBT. Is a therapy style developed by Marcia Linen, specifically geared towards those who feel emotions intensely. DBT has been in use for nearly 40 years to treat many mental health disorders, most commonly borderline personality disorder. DBT teaches four modules of skills. Core mindfulness skills, how to recognize your thoughts. Interpersonal effectiveness skills, how to improve your relationships and recognize unhealthy ones. Emotion regulation skills, how to handle overpowering emotions. And distress tolerance skills, how to maintain control in a crisis. DBT uses the terms emotion mind, reason mind, and wise mind to explain the why behind our actions. These terms help us to counteract unhealthy thought processes and create healthy habits. If DBT sounds like it could help you, reach out to a mental health professional to see if it's an option.
