Dialectical Behaviour Therapy
DBT (short for Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) is like the Swiss Army knife of emotional coping. If your feelings sometimes come on like a tidal wave or you react first, then think later. DBT is here with a life vest, a paddle, and snacks!
It was originally created for people who feel a lot! Big emotions, intense reactions, all the drama (the internal kind, not the theatre kind).
But honestly, it’s helpful for anyone who’s ever wanted to scream into a pillow and instead wishes they had a better way to deal with… well, everything
DBT is all about teaching you four key superpowers:
-
Mindfulness
How to stay present and grounded, even if your brain is sprinting through worst-case scenarios or reliving that embarrassing thing you said in 2014.
-
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Want to ask for what you need without guilt? Set boundaries without guilt? Stop saying “I’m fine” when you’re clearly not fine? That’s this one.
-
Emotional Regulation
Learn how to name your emotions, understand them, and stop them from turning your day into a soap opera. Basically: feel your feelings without being ruled by them.
-
Distress Tolerance
Crisis? Meltdown incoming? DBT teaches you how to get through it without making things worse (read: no need to quit your job or text your ex).
DBT is skills-based, practical, and often structured. Think less “Let’s talk about your childhood for three years” and more “Here’s what to do when you’re spiralling at 11 p.m.”
It’s perfect if you want tools you can actually use in real life, at work, in relationships, or when your brain decides it’s time for a 3 a.m. overthinking session.
You don’t have to be a monk to benefit from DBT. You just have to be human. Messy, emotional, beautifully human.
