Dialectical Behavior Therapy

DBT focuses on helping people accept the reality of their lives and their behaviors, as well as helping them learn to change their lives, including their unhelpful behaviors. “Dialectical” means allowing two opposite ideas to coexist. DBT is especially effective for people who have difficulty managing and regulating their emotions. DBT offers detailed skills and handouts from 4 different modules: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.
