DBT combines Eastern mindfulness and Western psychotherapy for a balanced approach to mental well-being. It's about accepting who you are today while guiding you towards a better tomorrow.
Rooted in Buddhist traditions, DBT promotes balance through its core principle of dialectics. It's not just therapy; it's a philosophy that enhances self-awareness, emotional management, and relationship harmony.
