Dialectic behavioural therapy (DBT) skills training

DBT is primarily intended for people who feel their emotions strongly and find it hard to control them. The full DBT treatment programme includes individual therapy, group therapy, and telephone coaching.

At Spiral Psychology we don’t offer the full treatment programme, only the skills training part of DBT. DBT skills training covers four areas: mindfulness (practice of present-moment focus);distress tolerance (learning to deal with crises); emotion regulation (understanding and coping with emotions); and interpersonal effectiveness (learning to assert your needs).
