What is Dialectic Behavioral Therapy?
DBT is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that was developed specifically to treat individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD). However, it has since been found to be effective in treating a wide range of mental health conditions, including depression, anxiety, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
DBT is based on the principles of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The goal of DBT is to help you identify and change negative patterns of behavior and thought, and to develop a more balanced and fulfilling life.
