DBT Resources
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy (often called “talk therapy”) used to treat people with certain mental health conditions that involve problems in regulating emotions. It aims to help people develop skills they can use in their daily lives to effectively manage emotions, maintain or improve interpersonal relationships, tolerate distress, and avoid behaviors that are harmful or detrimental to their quality of life. The overall goal of DBT is to help people with significant emotional regulation problems change patterns of behavior, emotion, thought, and interpersonal interaction associated with problems in their daily lives.
