Understanding DBT
Originally developed to treat Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), DBT has evolved into a highly effective therapy for a variety of emotional and behavioural concerns. It combines principles of Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) with mindfulness and acceptance strategies, emphasizing the balance between change and acceptance.
DBT is particularly helpful for individuals who experience extreme emotional responses or who find it difficult to regulate their emotions and behaviours in challenging situations.
