Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based, specialized form of therapy that combines cognitive-behavioral principles with mindfulness techniques. It focuses on balancing acceptance and change to help individuals manage intense emotions, improve relationships, and develop healthier coping mechanisms. Originally designed for individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD), DBT has since been adapted to address various mental health challenges.
