Rather than me type a bad description of it here type cognitive behavioural Therapy into google. it is a well known and growing area that helps you recognise your behaviour. Once you can recognise it you then can try to change it if you need to. that is a very crude description. I have found it very very good. It was hard in the beginning but it is getting easier now and has really helped me - not just with my M - but also with stopping my self destructive behaviour. I can now analyse my thoughts and instead of letting them rule me and me ruminating on things incessantly to no purpose I will deal with things in a positive way and if I can't deal with something i recognise that and move on until I can deal with it.
A good starting place might be ' Learned Optimism' by Martin Seligman. he also wrote 'Authentic Happiness'. This just all kind of made sense to me. I wanted something to help me change the way I viewed things and thought about things. I also wanted off the AD's.
I think it sits well with DBing.
In the UK the government is putting a lot of extra money into this area in the hope that they will get people of AD's and improve mental health.
I hope this helps.
