TAKEAWAY SKILLS
Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a skills-based approach that teaches four different sets of skills:
-
Mindfulness skills to help us become aware of ourselves and the world. They help us recognize our patterns and triggers, teach us to make wise decisions and focus our attention.
-
Distress Tolerance skills help us cope with difficult situations and emotions without turning to harmful behaviors.
-
Emotional Regulation skills teach us to become more aware of our emotions, create emotional balance, and build self-confidence.
-
Interpersonal Effectiveness skills teach us communication and relationship skills. They help us be assertive, set boundaries, maintain healthy relationships, and increase self-respect.
