DBT (Dialectical Behavioral Therapy) | Myths about Emotions

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) challenges several common myths about emotions through its comprehensive approach. One key tenet of DBT is the rejection of the myth that emotions are either entirely rational or irrational. Instead, DBT emphasizes that emotions are multifaceted and can be understood through a combination of rational and emotional elements. Dr. Marsha M. Linehan, the creator of DBT, highlights the importance of wise mind, a state where rational and emotional minds coalesce to inform decision-making. Another myth addressed by DBT is the notion that strong emotions should be completely suppressed or ignored. DBT recognizes the validity of emotions and encourages individuals to acknowledge, tolerate, and skillfully manage them. By fostering acceptance and understanding of emotions, DBT helps individuals navigate the complexities of their emotional experiences and promotes a more balanced and adaptive approach to emotional well-being.

About Me:
My name is Hong Jeong, licensed therapist, LCSW. I make videos about self-healing and I believe that healing happens within us first and then we can find healing outside. I pull healing concepts from different modalities such as CBT, ACT, DBT, EMDR, IFS, Somatic Experiencing, Sensorimotor Psychotherapy, and many more.
