How Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Works in Treatment
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a structured talk therapy that teaches you specific skills for handling intense emotions without turning to drugs, alcohol, or self-destructive habits. In a session, you and your clinician review recent situations that felt overwhelming, then practice concrete tools like distress tolerance, staying grounded in the moment, and asking for what you need in relationships. It helps with cravings, anger, anxiety, and the urge to numb difficult feelings. Your licensed clinicians build DBT into your larger treatment plan and adjust the focus as you gain skills and your needs change.
