Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This type of therapy is centered around helping when you try to apply logical thought to intense emotional reactions and dialectical dilemmas develop. It doesn’t always make sense to apply a logical thought pattern to emotional stimulus because you often find an invalidating response internally and makes the misery of the emotion intensify. Instead practice behaviors that reduce the emotional intensity.
