Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder, DBT has proven effective for various mental health issues, including depression, anxiety, and substance use disorders. The therapy focuses on four core skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through individual therapy sessions and group skills training, clients learn to balance acceptance and change, fostering resilience and improving their ability to navigate relationships and emotional challenges. By cultivating awareness and practical skills, DBT empowers individuals to create meaningful, fulfilling lives while effectively managing their emotions.
