DBT Golden Nugget: What is Borderline Personality Disorder, and What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy? (Video)

I came across this informative, helpful video that answers two questions that I often receive from readers:

  • What is Borderline Personality Disorder?
  • What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
Abbie Taylor, an MSW graduate student at Binghamton University addresses these questions in this short documentary (about 15 minutes in length.)

What did you learn from this video?
What questions are you or your loved still left with about BPD and DBT? 
Thank you for reading.
More Soon.

    Thanks so much for posting this Debbie. I think i might show it to my Mum. I wish i could walk around with this video in mu pocket and pull it out when i'm having difficulty with someone i don't know. I always feel like no one understands me. That's huge for me.
    I feel like the video was very accurate in explaining BPD and DBT. Obviously there is alot more elaborating and everyone with BPD is so different because we don't all meet the same diagnostic criteria. For me, i meet all 9.
    It's really hard living with BPD. Sometimes too hard, but i will get there in the end.
    Thanks again Debbie:)

    Hi Rainbow — you're welcome. 🙂 You might want to carry around the Open Letter to Non-BPDs — that's something that's easily portable. 🙂

    Wow – you meet all 9 criteria? You're the first I've heard that does, but hey, at least it's clear what you've been suffering from — and we know there is effective treatment, and you're doing it! 🙂 Thanks for your comment.
