Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT stands for Dialectical Behavior Therapy, a type of psychotherapy that teaches skills to manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It was originally developed to help people with borderline personality disorder but is now used for a variety of mental health conditions, such as depression, eating disorders, and PTSD. DBT focuses on balancing acceptance and change through skills like mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness.
