DBT is based on the principle that emotional dysregulation is a core problem in many mental health conditions, such as depression, anxiety, and borderline personality disorder. DBT skills are designed to help teens regulate their emotions and improve their relationships with others.

How DBT Skills Can Help Teens Manage Emotions

DBT skills can help teens manage their emotions in a number of ways, including:

Identifying and labelling emotions. DBT skills can help teens learn how to identify and label their emotions, which is the first step to managing them. This can be difficult for teens, who may not have the vocabulary to describe their emotions or may not be aware of what they are feeling.
Regulating emotions. DBT skills can help teens learn how to regulate their emotions, which means managing them in a healthy way. This involves learning how to tolerate distress, cope with intense emotions, and express emotions in a safe and appropriate way.
Improving relationships. DBT skills can help teens improve their relationships with others by teaching them how to communicate their needs, set boundaries, and resolve conflict in a healthy way.
