Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy which is based on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), but has been adapted to help people who experience emotions very intensely.

DBT is based on four modules: core mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. They are designed to specifically assist individuals in better managing behaviors, emotions and thoughts.
