\n What DBT Means<\/span>
\n “<\/span><\/p>\n

DBT holds two things at once: you are doing the best you can, and you need to do better, try harder, and be more motivated to change.<\/strong> That dialectic — acceptance alongside change — is what gives the approach its name.<\/p>\n

Sessions are organized around four skill areas that build on one another, moving from steadying intense emotion in the moment to reshaping the relationships and habits around it.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n

\n
\n Mindfulness<\/span>The foundation skill beneath all others<\/span><\/p>\n
\n

Distress Tolerance<\/span>Getting through crisis without making it worse<\/span><\/p>\n

Emotion Regulation<\/span>Understanding and shifting intense feeling<\/span>\n <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/section>\n
