It is a short-term, structured form of therapy for people who want to address emotional issues and improve their mental health.

Through in-depth discussion and cognition, patients will learn to cope with emotional dilemmas and master problem-solving skills, thereby achieving the purpose of improving emotions and behavior. A course of DBT usually lasts for 12 weeks, with weekly treatments. Throughout the session, the therapist and patient will work together to explore the following areas:
1. Emotions and behaviors: The therapist will help patients understand their emotions and behaviors, discover pain and patterns within them, and explore how to cope with these emotions and behaviors .

4. Support network: The therapist will help the patient establish a support network, including family, friends, colleagues, etc. , to provide emotional support and assistance.
