What Is Dialectical Behavior Therapy?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of cognitive behavioral therapy designed to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthy coping skills. Originally created to treat borderline personality disorder, DBT is now widely used to help people struggling with a variety of emotional and behavioral challenges.
Through DBT, clients learn to balance acceptance and change, recognizing their current experiences while building the tools to make positive life adjustments. Therapy often focuses on four key skill areas.
- Mindfulness: Increasing awareness of thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in the present moment.
- Distress Tolerance: Learning strategies to manage crisis situations without resorting to harmful behaviors.
- Emotion Regulation: Identifying and adjusting emotional responses for greater stability.
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: Building stronger, more assertive, and respectful relationships.
At Eagles Counseling, our DBT-trained therapists guide clients through structured sessions designed to foster growth, self-understanding, and long-term emotional wellness.
