Dialectical behaviour therapy
DBT brings together acceptance and change, with skills for navigating difficult emotions and relationships.
A place to begin.
DBT draws on mindfulness and behavioural strategies. Skills may focus on being present, tolerating distress, regulating emotions, and communicating needs.
Spark lists DBT among its therapeutic approaches. Talk with your clinician about the skills they use and whether a more comprehensive or specialized programme would suit your needs.
In the work together
- Mindfulness and present-moment awareness
- Skills for managing distress and emotions
- More effective communication in relationships
