Dialectical Behavior Therapy Psychoeducation Group
A basic introduction to Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT is a form of psychotherapy that was originally conceptualized by Marsha M. Linehan. DBT combines standard cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and reality-testing with concepts of distress tolerance, acceptance, and mindful awareness derived from Buddhist meditative practice.A common theory supporting DBT is that we began forming inaccurate beliefs about the past, unrealistic expectations about the present, and unattainable desires for the future; which results in emotional distress and inappropriate behaviors. DBT is a skills-based approach that teaches group members how to better manage overwhelming emotions, impulsivity, and life.
