What is Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)?

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help people manage overwhelming emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve their relationships. Originally developed for treating Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), DBT has been shown to be highly effective for a range of mental health challenges, including anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and PTSD.

The “dialectical” nature of DBT emphasizes balancing acceptance and change—acknowledging your current experiences while working toward meaningful, positive change. DBT focuses on building four core skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
