Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy that combines elements of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) with Eastern mindfulness practices. It's designed to help individuals who struggle with intense emotions, impulsive behaviors, and unstable relationships, often associated with conditions like borderline personality disorder (BPD). DBT focuses on teaching skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Through individual therapy, group skills training, phone coaching, and therapist consultation, DBT helps patients develop practical strategies for managing distress, regulating emotions, improving relationships, and leading a more fulfilling life. The dialectical aspect of DBT emphasizes finding balance between acceptance and change, allowing patients to acknowledge their current experiences while working towards creating positive changes.
