#dialectical

“knowledge” is “theory” and theory is always trans and always dialectical whether Marx was talking about trannies or not

A dialectical dilemma in DBT is when there are two types of actions, attitudes, or interpretations (behaviors) that you can do in response to a situation that you're in, and DBT is about finding a way to do behavior that makes your life better, rather than simply going full bore freakout or non-verbal catatonic (or any other ineffective behavior in between)
