Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT)
Recovering through Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a deeply personal journey, and the process can look different for everyone. DBT is built on the understanding that emotional challenges often develop from a mix of factors—such as prolonged stress, unresolved pain, major life changes, or difficulties managing intense emotions. These experiences can create a sense of emotional heaviness that influences how we think, feel, and respond in everyday life.
Emotional distress may show up in many ways: persistent sadness, loss of interest in daily activities, irritability, fatigue, changes in sleep or appetite, difficulty concentrating, or a sense of hopelessness or disconnection from life. While these experiences can feel overwhelming or confusing, DBT views them as signals from the mind and body that something needs care, support, and new skills.

When to Consider DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy)
More people today are beginning to recognize how deeply emotional struggles and overwhelming feelings can affect their daily lives and overall sense of well-being. Yet because these challenges are so widespread, many individuals assume they should simply “push through” or cope on their own. Even if emotional distress is common, it doesn’t have to become your “normal”—and you don’t have to navigate it alone.
DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) is designed to help individuals understand how prolonged emotional strain, unresolved pain, major life changes, or chronic stress can overwhelm the mind and body. When our internal systems become overloaded, it can be difficult to return to a sense of emotional stability. This may show up as persistent sadness, emotional numbness, irritability, low motivation, or a sense of disconnection from yourself or others.
