DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a form of treatment that assumes that what makes strong feelings (any feeling: depression, anxiety, shame, fear, rage, guilt, sadness, irritability, and many other emotions) linger or persist is that intense emotions interrupt our natural psychological coping skills. We become behaviorally frozen. We act impulsively. We hide from the world. We feel trapped and each day seems like another day of anguish of some type. DBT is designed to reverse this process with scientifically validated techniques and strategies. Research has established that DBT works. It is hard work, but it pays off with increased skills to deal with strong feelings that persist over time in spite of our efforts to make it otherwise.
