DBT:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy

A therapy that combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with mindfulness.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a comprehensive, evidence-based treatment designed to help individuals manage intense emotions and improve relationships. It combines cognitive-behavioral techniques with concepts of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Originally developed for treating borderline personality disorder, DBT is now also used for other conditions, such as eating disorders and PTSD.
