Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) is designed to help adults who struggle with regulating their emotional responses and often act on impulsive behaviors. DBT also assumes that people who suffer intense emotional discomfort frequently engage in self-destructive and avoidance behaviors. A central principle of DBT is that acceptance of emotional pain eventually decreases that pain. This skills-training program is used in conjunction with regular therapy and is targeted at decreasing self-destructive,
suicidal and impulsive behaviors.
