Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) is an evidence-based psychotherapeutic modality specifically engineered for individuals who experience intense, rapid emotional fluctuations and difficulty regulating their nervous system. Led by Dr. Daniel, M.B.B.S., M.D., DBT focuses on the dialectic between accepting oneself completely as you are, while simultaneously working toward positive change across four essential skill pillars: Mindfulness, Distress Tolerance, Emotion Regulation, and Interpersonal Effectiveness.

Questions & Answers
While CBT focuses on analyzing thoughts and changing cognitive distortions, DBT places a profound emphasis on emotional acceptance, tolerating overwhelming distress in real time, and interpersonal boundary skills. It is especially suited for people who feel standard CBT feels too logical when experiencing severe emotional pain.
No. DBT skills are invaluable for anyone who struggles with feeling overwhelmed by emotions, people pleasing, explosive anger, panic spikes, or chronic relationship conflicts.
TIPP stands for Temperature (cold water facial immersion), Intense Exercise, Paced Breathing, and Paired Muscle Relaxation. These are somatic neurobiological interventions that rapidly activate your parasympathetic nervous system (vagus nerve) within 60 to 120 seconds to halt fight-or-flight panic.
