How DBT Works

DBT helps individuals understand how thoughts affect emotions and behaviors. It is especially effective for people who have difficulty managing and regulating their emotions, teaching healthier ways to cope with intense feelings.

The Core Approach

Each condition treated by DBT is thought to be associated with unhealthy efforts to control intense, negative emotions. Rather than depending on efforts that cause problems, DBT helps people learn healthier coping strategies for lasting change.

Duration & Sources

DBT typically takes at least six months to a year. Each situation is unique with complex biological, psychological, and social factors that can extend or shorten treatment. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) | Cleveland Clinic
