What is Dialectical behavior therapy (CBT)?
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and build healthier relationships. While it is particularly effective for addressing emotional dysregulation, DBT has also been adapted to support individuals with ADHD, anxiety, and other challenges related to managing emotions and relationships. DBT focuses on teaching practical skills in four key areas:
- Mindfulness: Stay present and grounded in the moment, reducing reactivity and enhancing self-awareness
- Distress tolerance: Develop tools to cope with difficult situations and emotions without resorting to harmful behaviors
- Emotional regulation: Learn strategies to identify, understand, and manage intense emotions more effectively
- Interpersonal effectiveness: Strengthen your relationships by improving communication, setting boundaries, and navigating conflicts with confidence
By integrating these skills into your daily life, DBT empowers you to regain emotional stability, improve your relationships, and build a more balanced and fulfilling future.
