What Is DBT Therapy?

DBT (dialectical behavior therapy) teaches practical skills for intense emotions and strained relationships. It was developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan and grew out of CBT. It covers four skill areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. The core idea is balance: accepting yourself as you are while changing what hurts.
