What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy that was originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder (BPD) but has since been adapted for other complex mental health issues.
DBT combines standard cognitive-behavioral techniques for emotion regulation and reality-testing with concepts of distress tolerance, acceptance, and mindful awareness.
DBT is noted for its focus on accepting patients' experiences as valid within a framework of trying to teach the skills needed to change negative behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful approach designed to help individuals navigate the complexities of emotional regulation, improve interpersonal skills, and embrace a life of mindfulness and distress tolerance.
Whether you're dealing with emotional instability, relationship challenges, or simply seeking to enhance your mental resilience, DBT worksheets offer a structured path to self-discovery and empowerment.
