Explore DBT skills, treatment approaches, relationships, emotion regulation, and practical questions to bring into therapy.
DBT can feel different from previous therapy because it uses clear treatment targets, behavioural analysis, skills practice, tracking, and active change strategies alongside validation and a therapeutic relationship throughout treatment.
Choosing comprehensive DBT or a skills group depends on risk, behavioural severity, supports, and treatment needs. Learn how clinicians match the level of DBT structure to each person in practice.
You do not need a borderline personality disorder diagnosis to benefit from DBT. Learn how fit depends on patterns, goals, risk, functioning, and the level of support required for change.
Use the secure intake pathway to describe what is happening. The clinical team can recommend an appropriate service, clinician, and next step.
