What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive-behavioral therapy that was originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD). Over time, its effectiveness has been proven for a wide range of mental health conditions, including post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. DBT focuses on teaching clients specific skills to cope with emotional distress, regulate intense emotions, and interact more effectively with others.

Dialectical behavior therapy has been extensively studied and has shown remarkable success in helping individuals with borderline personality disorder and other mental health conditions. One of the key reasons for its effectiveness is that DBT therapy is structured around four core modules: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.

• Mindfulness: Helps clients stay present and fully engaged in the moment, which is essential for managing overwhelming emotions.

• Distress Tolerance: Teaches clients how to tolerate and survive crises without resorting to harmful behaviors.

• Emotional Regulation: Equips clients with the tools to understand and manage their emotions effectively.

• Interpersonal Effectiveness: Focuses on building healthy relationships and improving communication skills.

These skills are taught through a combination of individual therapy, group skills training sessions, and phone coaching, making DBT a comprehensive and versatile approach to treatment.
