# Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)

This is the markdown version of https://drvohras.com/services/dbt-therapy, a page of Dr Vohra's, a psychiatry and psychology clinic in New Delhi. It is information, not medical advice; the clinic's contact details are at the end.

DBT is a skills-based therapy for people whose emotions run high and fast: intense anger, mood swings within a day, impulsive decisions, stormy relationships, or urges to self-harm. At Dr Vohra's, psychologists teach the four DBT skill sets (mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness) in individual sessions, in person or online, usually over three to six months.

## Who DBT helps

DBT was developed for borderline personality traits and chronic self-harm, and has since been adapted for eating disorders, substance use, adolescents and anyone whose main difficulty is managing strong emotion. It is a good fit when the problem is not what you think but how fast feelings take over.

## The four skill sets

Each skill is practised between sessions and reviewed with a diary card. Where risk is present, the psychologist and a psychiatrist at the clinic plan safety together.

- Mindfulness: noticing what is happening in the moment without acting on it
- Distress tolerance: getting through a crisis without making it worse
- Emotion regulation: understanding, naming and changing emotional responses
- Interpersonal effectiveness: asking for what you need and saying no while keeping relationships

## DBT with medication

Many people doing DBT also take medication for depression, anxiety or mood instability prescribed by one of the clinic's psychiatrists. The combination is coordinated within the clinic.

## Frequently asked questions

- **Is DBT the same as CBT?**: DBT grew out of CBT and shares its structure, but adds acceptance and mindfulness skills and focuses on emotion regulation rather than on changing thoughts.
- **How long does DBT take?**: A full skills cycle takes about six months of weekly sessions. Shorter, targeted skills work takes 8 to 12 sessions.
- **Is this an emergency service?**: No. Dr Vohra's is an outpatient clinic. In a mental health emergency in India, call Tele-MANAS 14416 or KIRAN 1800-599-0019 (both 24x7 and free), or 112 for emergency services.
