If the stress of everyday life or the holiday craziness bother you, give yourself a mental break with the help of a tried and true tips from mental professionals. Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is a ground-breaking
method of emotion control by psychologist, Marsha Linehan. Initially designed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder, a disorder in which people can think in terms of "all good" or "all bad", suffer from anger and stress-related problems in a rather extreme way. Still, DBT is useful for others, too, due to its ability to calm the mind with no-nonsense, useful lessons in mindfulness and self control. Having taken courses in the subject myself for therapy purposes, it has been very useful to me, for depression. Using these calming and mind-centering techniques has taught me to look at things in a more rational, rather than emotional manner. It has helped tremendously. This isn't some new-age, strange or far out kind of treatment but an organized, professional therapy technique used by therapists and psychologists all over the world.
