Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)
What is DBT?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that helps individuals manage emotions and improve relationships. Originally created for borderline personality disorder, it's now used for various mental health challenges like depression and anxiety.
DBT focuses on four key skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These skills help you handle life's ups and downs with more balance and resilience
