DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is a specialized type of cognitive behavioral therapy designed to identify and change negative thinking patterns and pushes for positive behavioral changes. The four components of DBT are: a skills training group, individual treatment, DBT phone coaching, and a consultation team.
Is DBT right for me?
DBT specifically focuses on providing therapeutic skills in four key areas:
- Mindfulness: focus on improving an individual’s ability to accept and be present in the current moment
- Distress Tolerance: increasing a person’s tolerance of negative emotion, rather than trying to escape from it
- Emotional Regulation: strategies to manage and change intense emotions that are causing problems in a person’s life
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: techniques that allow a person to communicate with others in a way that is assertive, maintains self-respect, and strengthens relationships
