A common experience shared by clients is feeling more in control of emotions rather than being controlled by them.

How Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is Structured.

DBT is a structured, skills-based therapy that focuses on mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Sessions emphasize learning and practicing skills that can be applied directly to real-life situations, supporting long-term stability and emotional health.
