DBT is based on evidence and incorporates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). It's designed to help people learn how to:

• ​Be mindful: Focus on the present moment and accept that emotions are fleeting
• ​Tolerate distress: Manage difficult emotions without acting out or making things worse
• ​Regulate emotions: Understand and control intense emotions that cause problems
• ​Be effective in interpersonal interactions: Ask for what you need, set boundaries, and communicate assertively
