What Is DBT?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based therapy originally developed for borderline personality disorder, now widely used to treat eating disorders. DBT focuses on mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
For clients with eating disorders, DBT helps reduce harmful behaviors such as bingeing, purging, or restriction by teaching skills to handle difficult emotions in healthier ways.
At Virtue Recovery, DBT is a cornerstone of treatment for anorexia, bulimia, binge eating disorder, ARFID, diabulimia, and co-occurring mental health conditions.
5 Benefits of DBT for Eating Disorders
Improves Emotional Regulation
Helps clients manage intense emotions without turning to disordered eating. By building healthier responses to stress and overwhelm, DBT supports long-term emotional stability.
Builds Distress Tolerance
Provides tools to cope with stress, anxiety, and urges in healthier ways. Clients learn to face difficult situations without resorting to harmful behaviors.
Enhances Mindfulness
Encourages awareness of thoughts, feelings, and behaviors in the present moment. Mindfulness helps clients recognize patterns and make conscious choices toward recovery.
Strengthens Relationships
Teaches communication and interpersonal effectiveness skills. These tools allow clients to build healthier connections and reduce conflict with loved ones.
Prevents Relapse
Builds lasting skills for recovery and long-term resilience. By reinforcing coping strategies and self-awareness, DBT reduces the risk of returning to old patterns.
