There is a lot of misconceptions about what mindfulness is. Practically, it is a skill that can help people not only decrease anxiety, depression, and other emotional suffering but also increases a sense of joy, harmony, academic ability l, and even job performance.
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?:
DBT is a powerful and effective therapy approach to intense suffering. The skills in this series are key to healing from suffering and helpful to anyone improving their life.
DBT was developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan. Initially she was trying to find a therapeutic approach to suicide and self harm. Later, she saw the underlying problems of suicide is a combination of two factors. The first is powerful emotions. The second is living in a harsh and invalidating environment.
This therapy is an evidence based treatment with a solid research base backing it up. It’s the gold standard for treating Borderline Personality Disorder. It combines techniques from a broad range of therapies. These techniques come from CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy), Behavior Therapy, and Psychodynamic therapy. DBT is quite effective in treating PTSD, trauma, eating disorders, and other personality disorders. It works in treating high conflict couples and adolescent behavioral issues.
