What is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals with severe emotional regulation issues, such as borderline personality disorder. DBT combines strategies like mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Why it Helps:
DBT is effective because it provides individuals with skills to manage intense emotions, reduce self-destructive behaviors, and improve relationships. The therapy emphasizes acceptance and change, helping clients to understand and accept their emotions while also working towards positive behavioral changes. DBT's structured approach and skill-building focus make it particularly useful for those struggling with chronic emotional dysregulation and interpersonal difficulties.
