Dialectical Behavioural Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals struggling with emotional disregulation, borderline personality disorder (BPD), PTSD, ADHD, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, addiction, suicidal ideation, and more. DBT is a modified form of cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) that focuses on helping people live in the present moment while developing healthy coping mechanisms for stress and emotional pain.

DBT is especially effective in improving emotional regulation, interpersonal relationships, and mindfulness. It emphasises the development of mindfulness skills, which help individuals focus on the present and increase self-awareness by connecting with their internal and external experiences. These techniques promote self-compassion, enable people to detach from harmful narratives, and help manage intense emotions such as anger, shame, and sadness.

One of the core components of DBT is its focus on distress tolerance, teaching individuals how to cope with overwhelming emotions without resorting to destructive behaviours. DBT also emphasises interpersonal effectiveness, improving communication skills, setting boundaries, and developing assertiveness in relationships without guilt or shame. Additionally, DBT strengthens emotion regulation by helping individuals identify, process, and navigate their emotions in a healthier, more adaptive way.
