Transform Emotional Instability into Strength with DBT
Understanding Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was originally developed to treat borderline personality disorder but has since proven highly effective for a range of mental health conditions, especially those involving emotional dysregulation.
DBT is commonly used for individuals struggling with:
Mood disorders such as depression or bipolar disorder
Anxiety and panic disorders
Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD)
Substance use disorders
Eating disorders
Suicidal ideation and self-harming behaviors
The core principles of DBT focus on:
Mindfulness: Increasing awareness of the present moment without judgment
Emotional regulation: Learning to manage intense emotions in healthy ways
Distress tolerance: Building skills to tolerate and survive crises without making the situation worse
Interpersonal effectiveness: Developing tools to assert needs, set boundaries, and maintain healthy relationships
