What is DBT?

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a therapy designed to help people manage intense emotions and navigate challenging experiences. It blends cognitive-behavioural strategies with mindfulness and acceptance techniques to teach practical skills in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, mindfulness and interpersonal effectiveness.

​

DBT focuses on balancing acceptance and change, helping you acknowledge and accept your emotions while also learning ways to respond differently. Through DBT, you’ll build coping skills, increase self-awareness, improve relationships, and develop healthier ways of thinking, feeling, and interacting. This approach can support overall well-being and help you lead a more fulfilling life.
