Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is another structured, evidence-based treatment that blends cognitive-behavioural techniques with mindfulness strategies. Originally developed for individuals with borderline personality disorder, it emphasises the balance between accepting one's current emotional state and fostering meaningful change. By teaching skills in distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness, DBT empowers individuals to handle intense emotions and navigate challenging situations more effectively.
