Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT) based therapy

DBT is often categorized within the "third wave" of cognitive-behavioral therapy, where it transforms traditional CBT to help individuals manage more intense emotions and experiences. In this therapeutic approach, the therapist endeavours to acknowledge and validate the client's emotions in the present moment. Simultaneously, they convey that certain feelings and behaviours such as intense, and difficult-to-control anger, impulsive behaviours, toxic interpersonal relationship or chronic sense of emptiness can be maladaptive.

 

Therapist guide clients toward more effective alternatives. The primary emphasis in DBT is on empowering clients to acquire new skills regulate their emotions, tolerate the distress and deal more effectively with interpersonal situations.
