What DBT Is, What It Treats, and Why It Helps
What is DBT?
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) blends acceptance with change. You’ll learn four core skill sets—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—to replace reactivity with intentional responses.
Conditions DBT addresses
- Intense emotions and mood instability
- Anxiety, panic, chronic worry
- Impulsivity, self-harm urges, crisis behaviors
- Relationship conflict and boundary challenges
- Co-occurring depression, trauma-related symptoms, or substance use
Why DBT works
DBT provides a repeatable toolkit and the structure to use it. Individual sessions analyze patterns and set targets; skills groups (often called “DBT classes”) teach and rehearse strategies; brief coaching helps you apply skills between sessions.
