RO-DBT (Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy) was created by Thomas R. Lynch in 2018.   While DBT treats people who are struggling with regulating emotions and impulsive behaviors,  RO-DBT treats people who are struggling with excessive self-control, rigidity, and social inhibition.  Unlike traditional DBT, RO-DBT focuses on enhancing openness, flexibility, and authentic connection with others.
