Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
A structured, skills-based therapy for managing intense emotions, easing self-defeating patterns and building steadier relationships.
How it helps
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a well-evidenced treatment for emotion dysregulation, with strong support for difficulty managing intense feelings, impulsivity and relationship distress. It balances acceptance and change.
DBT teaches four skill sets — mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness — applied to everyday life.
