Hi hunni, we've had a few members in the past who have had it and have found it to help...

Hi Northantsgirl,

Had to look up DBT and here's a quick summary from Wikipedia.



Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapy designed to help people suffering from borderline personality disorder. It has also been used to treat mood disorders as well as those who need to change patterns of behavior that are not helpful, such as self-harm, suicidal ideation, and substance abuse. This approach works towards helping people increase their emotional and cognitive regulation by learning about the triggers that lead to reactive states and helping to assess which coping skills to apply in the sequence of events, thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to help avoid undesired reactions. DBT assumes that people are doing their best but lack the skills needed to succeed, or are influenced by positive reinforcement or negative reinforcement that interferes with their ability to function appropriately.

DBT is a modified form of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)


It is worth looking in to, I've had CBT but not DBT.
