Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

At PROMIS, we use a wide range of modalities to treat mental health and addiction issues. Dialectical behaviour therapy has proven to be a valuable resource that has helped thousands of patients who have walked through our doors. 

WHAT IS DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOUR THERAPY?

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a type of evidence-based psychotherapy that derives from cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT). While CBT focuses mainly on changing one’s thoughts, DBT emphasises the acceptance and modification of one’s behaviours. Dr Marsha Linehan and her colleagues originally developed the therapy in the late 1980s, and it helps individuals develop healthier thought patterns and strategies for regulating their emotions.

Initially designed to treat individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD), also known as emotionally unstable personality disorder (EUPD), DBT has now become a leading treatment for people who struggle with emotional instability. If you’ve been dealing with a mental health condition, DBT can be an effective way to take control of your condition and improve your overall well-being.
