Understanding Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

• DBT helps individuals who experience intense emotions build healthier coping mechanisms.

• The therapy focuses on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

  
  

What is Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy?

For some people, emotions feel incredibly intense and difficult to manage, leading to impulsive reactions or conflict in relationships. Dialectical-Behavioural Therapy (DBT) was designed specifically to help with this emotional intensity.

DBT builds essential emotional regulation skills 

DBT focuses on teaching tangible skills across four main areas. Mindfulness helps you stay grounded in the present moment. Distress tolerance provides strategies to survive a crisis without making it worse. Emotion regulation teaches you how to identify and change intense feelings, while interpersonal effectiveness helps you communicate your needs clearly and maintain self-respect.
