Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based treatment that combines core elements of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) with acceptance and mindfulness practices. DBT skills and strategies are often taught to help individuals cope with extreme emotions and harmful behaviours, balancing the need for behaviour change with acceptance and validation. DBT aims to teach five sets of skills: mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, emotion regulation, and walking the middle path.
