DBT Skills Training is a vital part of the broader Dialectical Behavior Therapy process, but it’s important to remember that it is not DBT in its entirety. Alongside the Basic Principles, DBT Skills Training encompasses four main modules: Core Mindfulness, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.

This comprehensive, evidence-based approach was developed by Dr. Marsha Linehan specifically for clients with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and has since shown remarkable effectiveness across various other conditions.
I want to emphasize that the skills shared on this site are not intended as a treatment for any condition, nor do I recommend their use to anyone who isn’t under my care. If you are a client of mine, please understand that the information provided here is meant to be a helpful reference, complementing our in-person therapeutic work.
Many individuals can gain from these skills, especially those looking to enhance their emotional control, improve their ability to tolerate stress, cultivate mindfulness, and foster stronger social connections. After all, can we truly have too many tools in our toolbox when it comes to leading happier, more balanced lives?
Take Good Care.
