Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy designed to help individuals manage their emotions and improve relationships. Initially developed for borderline personality disorder, DBT is now widely used to address various mental health challenges, including depression and anxiety. 

Central to DBT are four key skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. These DBT skills equip individuals to navigate life's ups and downs with greater balance and resilience.
