Probably not. DBT is based off CBT but has some additional elements that can be super helpful for some people.
My wife is currently in it for PTSD and it’s doing things for her that CBT would struggle with. It can also do everything CBT does, speaking as someone who had great benefits from CBT.
I wasn’t aware of DBT as a therapy form until this comment chain, honestly, so I think I saw the original and assumed it was intended to be CBT but a typo got in the way.
Yeah it’s less well known, I mostly originally knew about it because of my history of interaction with folks who have borderline personality disorder (it was originally developed to treat it). And yeah one of the really big things it does that cbt doesn’t is working on emotional control with stuff like building distress tolerance.
It’s definitely no fun, my wife is really not enjoying it, but it is really helping her.
I generally encourage anyone whose struggling with destructive thoughts/behavior or ptsd to give it a consideration
Looked it up - dialectical behaviour therapy, apparently
instructions unclear, gave myself deep brain thrombosis
do you still have both of your shoes on? if so, then you’re good 👍🏻
Yeah I was wondering maybe they meant cognitive behavioral therapy?
Both CBT and DBT are types of therapy that exist, so I see no reason to assume whoever wrote this didn’t mean what they wrote.
