DBT counseling is a kind of cognitive behavioral therapy. It helps people who have emotional dysregulation such as in borderline personality disorder, and makes them understand how their beliefs influence their feelings and behaviors.

Dialectical behavior counseling is mainly focused on supporting people who have trouble controlling and regulating their emotions. In addition, DBT has demonstrated efficacy in the getting rid of a variety of mental health issue, including:

  • Disorder of the borderline personality (BPD)
  • Self-harm
  • Suicidal tendencies
  • Trauma-related stress disorder (PTSD)

Numerous studies have shown that DBT counseling is effective in treating patients' mental health issues. Particularly for those with borderline personality disorder, DBT has the following effects:

  • Less anger and self-harming behavior
  • Less days spent hospitalized as an inpatient
  • Less abuse of alcohol and drugs behaviors
  • Reduction in depressed symptoms

Although there is a fixed period, the typical duration of dialectical behavior counseling is between six and twelve months. However, because each person is different. Mental health issues are complicated after a year of DBT, you shouldn't anticipate being totally free of symptoms or having troublesome behaviors. Many therapists think that it can frequently take several years to treat borderline personality disorder in particular.
