Dialectical Behavior Therapy

 


The mindfulness module is at the core of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) treatment. Mindfulness is the ability to observe thoughts, feelings, or physical sensations without judging or changing them. This involves describing these inner experiences and labeling them as they come into your awareness. For example, you might notice you are sad and just let yourself feel sad without doing anything to cheer yourself up.

This is an important skill in DBT because it teaches an individual with BPD that it is possible to tolerate strong emotions or self loathing thoughts without resorting to self-harm.
