"Marsha Linehan developed Dialectical Behavior Therapy to help people whose inability to manage
emotions affects their ability to regulate the resulting behaviors. In 2001, I (Pat Harvey) began to
teach DBT skills to the parents of adolescents and young adults living in DBT residential group
homes....(in that group) I learned about the overwhelming emotions parents feel when their children
suffer from emotion dysregulation...as the parents learned skills to help their children, it became
clear that these skills were helping them manage many aspects of their own very difficult lives as
well...." (from Parenting a Child Who Has Intense Emotions)

Awareness and Acceptance, in this moment and without judgment,
of "what is" enables you to recognize opportunities and possibilities
for the future. Likewise, accepting someone you love, in this moment
and without judgment, no matter how difficult life with him/her is,
will enable change and growth and allows the future to be different.
Acceptance and change is what DBT is all about.
