Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is a talk therapy that helps you learn how to handle difficult emotions and improve your relationships. It uses a mix of thinking and mindfulness techniques to help you accept and change behaviors that might be harmful.
DBT teaches you four primary skills: mindfulness (being aware of the present moment), distress tolerance (handling stress without making it worse), emotional regulation (managing your emotions), and interpersonal effectiveness (getting along better with others).
These skills help you understand and control your emotions, leading to a more balanced and happy life.
