What is DBT?

DBT was first developed by Marsha Linehan for the treatment of borderline personality disorder. It incorporates elements of eastern philosophy and classical Greek thought; hence the "dialectic" nature of it.

There are four main components:

• Mindfulness
• Emotion Regulation
• Distress Tolerance
• Interpersonal Effectiveness

It involves acceptance and the willingness to change at the same time. I will be posting details of my adventure as I seek to improve my quality of life through skillful thoughts and behavior.
