What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?

DBT is a structured, evidence-backed form of therapy that teaches and encourages the practice of coping mechanisms to help clients whose emotions make it difficult to cope with daily situations.

DBT therapists teach clients strategies such as mindfulness or distress tolerance to balance opposite perspectives and help them constructively manage and respond to emotional experiences in their daily lives. Effectively managing emotions allows clients to achieve internal balance, improve their relationships with others, and start living a happier, healthier life.
