Despite the majority of the individuals being sent to DBT having histories of severe childhood trauma, little about DBT treatment is “trauma-informed.” For some reason, DBT therapists take great pride in what they call “having swallowed the DBT Kool-Aid” and will defend Marsha Linehan and DBT like their lives depend on it. DBT plays into this, blowing their own horn about being the ‘gold standard treatment for borderline’ while working to diminish, dismiss, and ignore trauma, including the trauma inflicted by the mental health system, which often mirrors and reinforces childhood trauma.”
