Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

Dialectical Behavioral Therapy(DBT) emphasizes the integration of opposing viewpoints or perspectives, such as acceptance and change. Therapists help clients balance acceptance of their current situation with the need for change to improve their lives. The four components are mindfulness, emotional regulation, interpersonal skills, and distress tolerance. With this approach, you can learn how to develop skills to manage emotions, improve relationships, and lead more fulfilling lives.’DBT can help when you are having challenges with self-care, are uncertain how to self-soothe when stress peaks, are uneasy about being assertive, and have challenges staying in the present without being consumed by past experiences and/or worries about the future. DBT offers a key to learning how to promote self-acceptance, interpersonal effectiveness, and self-regulation. If you are looking for a way to be less judgmental, at peace, in control, and in the present, this therapeutic approach may work well for you.
