DBT helps individuals by focusing on four key areas:

  • Mindfulness: Staying present in the moment and accepting emotions without judgment.
  • Distress Tolerance: Learning how to cope with crises without resorting to harmful behaviors.
  • Emotional Regulation: Identifying and managing intense emotions effectively.
  • Interpersonal Effectiveness: Improving communication and relationships by setting boundaries and expressing needs clearly.

While both DBT and CBT focus on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, DBT places greater emphasis on emotional acceptance, distress tolerance, and mindfulness—making it especially effective for individuals with intense emotions or impulsivity.

DBT is typically a long-term treatment, often lasting six months to a year depending on the individual's needs. However, some people may benefit from short-term DBT programs.
