Our goal is to help facilitate adoption of Dialectic Behavior Therapy (DBT) in the "recovery" community by providing resources, community features, detailed information and lessons. We base our content on DBT techniques and skills, addressing people with impulse problems such as compulsive gambling, alcoholism, overeating, compulsive shopping, and others. DBT, a psychological approach, is based on Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Mindfulness. It's been used quite successfully for over a decade to treat serious personality disorders. In recent years, therapists and clinics have adapted DBT to treat a wide range of issues, including addictions and impulse disorders. We, too, have impulse issues, but we are committed to learning the DBT skills to lead healthier, more productive lives. While we aim to provide detailed information about DBT concepts and skills, along with tools and techniques to learn them, we are not professionals. Instead, we are people just like you who are learning about DBT. The material on this site is not a substitute for actual DBT training or psychological counseling. We recommend using this site in conjunction with therapy and DBT training. Our ultimate goal is to build a community of people who can support each other in the process of making these life skills part of our everyday existence. We're in the process of developing our content and will be adding DBT lessons, worksheets, exercises and a host of additional tools to help us learn and use DBT skills. If you have been through DBT training and would like to lend a hand, drop us a note in the "Contact Us" section. We look forward to your comments and feedback as we develop and grow this site. |
