  2. What Exactly is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)? It helps individuals manage distress, regulate emotions, and achieve a more balanced and fulfilling life. DBT is based on the philosophy of dialectics—balancing acceptance and change. Developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, DBT combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices.

  3. Who Can Benefit from DBT? DBT is suitable for individuals with: • Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) • Mood disorders (depression, bipolar disorder) • Anxiety disorders • Trauma-related disorders (including PTSD) • Substance use disorders • Eating disorders

  4. How Does DBT Therapy Work? DBT is a structured approach that combines: • Individual Therapy: Working one-on-one with a therapist to identify triggers and create coping plans. • Group Skills Training: Practicing mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance in a supportive environment. This blend of approaches helps individuals build lifelong coping strategies.

  5. Core Skills in DBT • DBT is built around four essential skills: • Mindfulness: Focusing on the present moment without judgment. • Distress Tolerance: Navigating difficult emotions safely. • Emotional Regulation: Managing emotions effectively. • Interpersonal Effectiveness: Building stronger, healthier relationships.
