This podcast offers educational content by providing clinical, social work, training, and information that builds professional practice competency for our members. Hello, my name is Dr. Veronica gon and I want to give you a brief introduction to Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Before we begin the interview and training for today, I wanna begin by providing a basic psychological definition of what dialectical means. It refers to a way of thinking that acknowledges the existence of opposing or contradictory ideas and seeks to find a balance or synthesis between them. It recognizes that two seemingly opposite ideas can both be true simultaneously. DBT was developed by psychologist Marsha Linnehan in the 1980s. It began as an effort to treat a highly suicidal individuals using traditional behavior therapies. But the [00:01:00] process wasn't straightforward. It was shaped by trial error and deep clinical insight. Early on, Han and her team realized that standard behavior therapy with its heavy focus on problem solving and change, often felt invalidating to clients dealing with intense emotional pain. Some clients would lash out, others would drop out altogether, and the challenge was that people didn't just need tools for change. They also needed to feel accepted, radically accepted, just as they were. This sparked a shift from a focus on change to a balance of change and acceptance. DBTs core strength lies in this dialectic. The idea that two seemingly opposite truths can coexist. You can accept yourself as you are and still work toward change. You can feel pain and survive it. Drawing from behaviorism, Zen [00:02:00]Buddhism and contemplated practices, DBT introduced mindfulness and distress tolerance. Now, core components of therapy, Linehan and her team worked to to translate spiritual concepts like radical acceptance into concrete, teachable skills that didn't rely on religious or spiritual belief to make it all work. DBT was structured as a comprehensive treatment including individual therapy, group skills training, phone coaching, and therapist consultation teams all built around a clear hierarchy of treatment targets. Eventually, the federal grant requirements push Linehan to focus research on a diagnosable disorder. That led to the first clinical trials targeting individuals with borderline personality disorder. These studies were groundbreaking and they showed that DBT worked over time. DBT has been adapted for many other populations, including those [00:03:00] with substance use disorders, eating disorders, and adolescents. Researchers and clinicians continue to refine DBT testing new skills and standalone interventions, but the heart of the treatment remains the same, helping people build a life worth living. This is why DBT can be applied to work with undocumented immigrants and the people who love and support them. Sophia Mendoza is a bilingual, licensed clinical social worker working in Los Angeles since 2007. She's trained in EMDR, dialectical behavior therapy, trauma-focused CBT, and cognitive processing therapy. She is also currently co-authoring a soon to be published book on healing from racism stress. Her clinical offering for today provides our clinicians with training on intersectional DBT skills for working with immigration status sphere. I, for one, am [00:04:00] grateful, deeply grateful for her ability to meet the moment by weaving theory lived experience and professional practice experience to provide a timely. Important professional development experience for all of us because I was undocumented until I was 12 years old and most of my family were undocumented too. I love this community and I will always support them in living healthy and purposeful and happy lives. So it is my honor to ...
