Marsha Linehan's life story serves as a powerful testament to resilience and transformation. After spending two years in a mental health institution due to her struggles with suicidal ideation, she made a vow to dedicate her life to helping others facing similar battles. Fifty years later, she returned to the same institution to share her journey and success in developing dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), a pioneering approach that has transformed the field of psychotherapy. This return not only illustrates her personal triumph over adversity but also highlights her commitment to using her experiences to enable healing in others.
