What is DBT Therapy in New England?
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) that emphasizes both acceptance and change. The term “dialectical” refers to balancing two truths at once, accepting yourself as you are while actively working toward positive change. DBT helps clients:
Understand and regulate intense emotions
Reduce impulsive or self-harm behaviors
Improve communication and relationships
Build distress tolerance and mindfulness skills
Restore peace and joy in your life
Core Skills Taught in DBT
DBT therapy focuses on four essential skill areas:
-
Mindfulness skills help you stay present, increase awareness of thoughts and emotions, and reduce reactivity.
-
These skills teach you how to cope with crisis situations without making things worse, helping you survive difficult moments safely.
-
Emotion regulation skills help you understand emotions, reduce emotional vulnerability, and respond more effectively to intense feelings.
-
You’ll learn how to communicate your needs, set healthy boundaries, and maintain self-respect in relationships.
