Selena Gomez credits it with “completely changing her life”. So do thousands of other people.
That would be Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, developed by psychologist Marsha Linehan in the early 1990’s.
In fact, research has shown that DBT is the most effective treatment for the emotional regulation difficulties and related behaviors associated with Borderline Personality Disorder as well as other severe mental health conditions.
Here’s a recent interview with Selena Gomez in which she talks about how helpful DBT has been in the management of her bipolar disorder.

To learn more about DBT and how it can help people who are struggling with mental health issues here’s a link to the DBT information page on the website for Behavioral Technology, the DBT training company founded by Dr. Linehan.
Hope this helps explain DBT
