DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, focusing on balancing acceptance and change. DBT is particularly effective for those with borderline personality disorder but can benefit anyone struggling with emotional regulation. The therapy includes skills training in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. By learning these skills, individuals can better cope with stress, communicate more effectively, and create a more fulfilling life.
