Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that focuses on helping individuals manage difficult emotions and improve interpersonal relationships. It is particularly effective for people struggling with emotional dysregulation, such as those with borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, and self-harm behaviors. DBT therapy includes teaching coping skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The therapy emphasizes balancing acceptance of current realities with efforts to change unhelpful behaviors.
