Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) has proven valuable to people dealing with complex issues such as borderline personality disorder, anxiety, depression, and post-traumatic stress disorder. Additionally, DBT can be tremendously helpful to those struggling with chronic conditions or working through crises due to environmental or psychological traumas. Research has also found that those who commit to a long-term engagement with the program find greater relief from persistent symptoms than those who participate in more transient forms of treatment. In other words, DBT helps people address immediate issues while providing access to tools for sustained emotional regulation and mental well being.
