What is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a form of CBT that focuses on emotional and social concepts.

It uses a comprehensive and structured approach in psychotherapy with techniques including mindfulness and distress tolerance to improve one’s emotional regulation skills.

These strategies help better recognize and understand how to deal with emotional reactions and change maladaptive thought patterns.
