Dialectical Behaviour Therapy

DBT is designed to help individuals who experience intense emotions and struggle with emotional regulation. The term "dialectical" refers to the process of finding a balance between opposing forces, such as acceptance and change. DBT involves both individual therapy sessions and group skills training. The therapy focuses on teaching four key skills.
