🔎 What Is DBT and How Can It Benefit Your Child?

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a structured, evidence-based approach originally developed to help individuals with emotional dysregulation. Over the years, DBT has been adapted to effectively address the needs of children and teens, helping them develop critical skills in four core areas:

1. Mindfulness 🧘

Teaches children to stay present in the moment, increasing self-awareness and reducing impulsive reactions.

2. Distress Tolerance 🌊

Equips children with strategies to tolerate difficult emotions and stressful situations without resorting to unhealthy behaviors.

3. Emotion Regulation 🎭

Helps children identify, understand, and manage intense emotions, reducing emotional outbursts and mood swings.

4. Interpersonal Effectiveness 🤝

Teaches children how to communicate effectively, set boundaries, and maintain healthy relationships.

These skills work together to help children and teens gain control over their emotions and behaviors, leading to improved decision-making and healthier relationships.
