Dialectical Behaviour Therapy in Edmonton

What Is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy?

Dialectical Behaviour therapy (DBT) is a type of talk therapy that focuses on helping clients manage their emotions in healthy and constructive ways. DBT can help clients increase their ability to feel their emotions and not let those feelings overwhelm them. DBT uses skills training, crisis management and mindfulness techniques to increase our ability to regulate our emotions, increase interpersonal skills, increase distress tolerance and decrease high-risk or harmful behaviours and coping skills.

• Borderline Personality Disorder

• Post-traumatic Stress Disorder

• Self-harm
