Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT)
Evidence-Based Support for Emotional Regulation, Relationships & Resilience
If you’re struggling with intense emotions, stress, relationship patterns, or behaviours that feel overwhelming or hard to control — DBT can help. At The Insight Clinic, we provide compassionate, structured, and evidence-based DBT services to help you build emotional strength, self-awareness, and long-term stability.
What Is DBT?
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is a specialized form of therapy that blends mindfulness, behavioural strategies, and emotional skill-building. It is especially effective for individuals who experience:
- Intense or rapidly changing emotions
- Difficulty managing anger, stress, or anxiety
- Impulsive or self-destructive behaviours
- Relationship conflict or fear of abandonment
- Past trauma, emotional sensitivity, or chronic distress
DBT focuses on both acceptance and change — helping you build skills while validating your lived experience.
What the DBT Program Involves
When you begin DBT at The Insight Clinic, your therapist will guide you through a structured and supportive treatment process, which may include:
1. Comprehensive intake and assessment to determine goals and treatment fit
2. Weekly individual sessions focused on applying DBT principles to your real-life challenges
3. Skills training sessions covering core areas:
- Mindfulness
- Emotional Regulation
- Distress Tolerance
- Interpersonal Effectiveness
4. Tracking tools (such as diary cards) to reinforce progress and insights
5. Optional family or partner support sessions, when appropriate
6. Evaluation of progress and adjustments to treatment, ensuring results are meaningful and sustainable
DBT can be delivered virtually or in person, depending on your preferences and clinical needs.
Common Concerns DBT Helps Treat
DBT is widely recognized as one of the most effective treatments for emotional dysregulation. Clients seek DBT support for:
- Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) or traits
- Emotional dysregulation associated with trauma and PTSD
- Anxiety, panic, or chronic stress
- Depression and mood instability
- Self-harm, suicidal ideation or impulsive behaviours

You do not need a formal diagnosis to benefit from DBT — only a desire for change.
