Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a treatment that targets emotion dysregulation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a therapy practice of expert psychologists with the highest level of training and experience in providing evidence-based treatment.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is an offspring of cognitive behavior therapy that incorporates Eastern meditative practices. The dialectic comes from the synthesis of opposites, particularly acceptance and change, which is a tenet core to the DBT philosophy. We accept ourselves as good enough, and we recognize the need for all of us to change and grow. These two concepts could seem contradictory, but through the persuasive dialogue, or dialectic, we can understand these seemingly opposing truths side by side.
