DBT - Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a specialized and evidence-based therapeutic approach designed to help individuals develop emotional regulation, improve interpersonal effectiveness, and enhance distress tolerance.
DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices, making it particularly effective for individuals with self-destructive behaviors, mood disorders, and difficulties managing intense emotions.
How DBT works
DBT equips clients with practical skills to navigate life’s challenges, improve relationships, and build emotional resilience. It focuses on validating clients’ experiences while simultaneously encouraging change.
DBT offers a structured framework for addressing a range of mental health concerns and promoting a balanced and fulfilling life. Whether you’re struggling with emotional instability, self-harm, or relationship difficulties, DBT provides valuable tools for personal growth and emotional well-being.
