Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, is an evidence based form of therapy that helps people manage intense emotions while improving relationships and coping skills. Originally developed to treat people with intense emotional responses, DBT is now used to treat a wide range of mental health conditions.

DBT combines acceptance with change. Instead of judging your thoughts or emotions, you learn how to accept your experiences while developing healthier ways to respond. The goal is not to eliminate difficult emotions but to learn how to manage them without letting them control your life.

What Mental Health Conditions Can DBT Help Treat?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy can help women experiencing a variety of mental health concerns, especially those involving emotional regulation.

Your therapist will personalize treatment based on your symptoms, goals, and life experiences.

What Skills Are Taught During Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

 

DBT focuses on four core skill areas that help people manage emotions and improve daily functioning. Throughout therapy, you will learn mindfulness to stay present without judging your thoughts or emotions, distress tolerance to handle difficult situations without acting impulsively, emotion regulation to better understand and manage intense feelings, and interpersonal effectiveness to build healthier relationships through clear communication and healthy boundaries. Your therapist will help you practice these skills during sessions so you can confidently apply them in everyday life.

FAQs

What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence based form of therapy that helps people manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping skills through mindfulness, emotional regulation, and problem-solving techniques.

The six core components of DBT include mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, validation, and dialectical thinking, which help individuals better manage emotions and respond to challenges in healthier ways.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is used to treat mental health conditions involving emotional dysregulation, including anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder (BPD), PTSD, eating disorders, and substance use disorders.

DBT may not be the best fit for individuals who are unwilling to actively participate in therapy or practice coping skills between sessions. A mental health professional can determine whether DBT or another therapy is the most appropriate treatment.

DBT is most effective for borderline personality disorder (BPD) but is also widely used to treat anxiety, depression, PTSD, eating disorders, bipolar disorder, self harming behaviors, and substance use disorders.
