Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) includes skills-based training in a group setting. In a DBT skills group, clients will learn and practice DBT tools to improve their ability to solve problems, cope with crises, manage interpersonal conflicts, and set and achieve goals in various areas of their lives.
Although it was originally developed to help people who are struggling with suicide, DBT has been shown to be an effective treatment for a number of issues including: anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, impulsivity, relationship problems, interpersonal isolation, and ineffectiveness at work.

The ability to be present and aware of your surroundings and thoughts and emotions yourself in the moment. These skills form the foundation of DBT
The ability to build healthy relationships and boundaries so that you gain support and self respect
The ability to accept and tolerate pain without making the situation worse
The ability to accurately describe and name emotions felt and regulate those feelings
DBT is premised on the idea that many problems are based on a skill deficit, and that by giving clients better skills they can live a happier and more productive life.
DBT skills training is often done in groups and is accompanied by individual treatment and coaching from a therapist. In a clinical setting learning all the skills typically takes six months.
Although it was originally developed to help people who are struggling with suicide, DBT has been shown to be an effective treatment for a number of issues. Anyone dealing with anxiety, depression, addiction, anger, impulsivity, relationship problems, interpersonal isolation, and ineffectiveness at work can benefit from these skills.
