Dialectical behavior therapy emphasizes four key skill categories: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Engaging with these skills is crucial for navigating challenging emotions and situations effectively. By practicing mindfulness, individuals can cultivate a greater awareness of their thoughts and feelings, while distress tolerance helps in coping with difficult moments without resorting to harmful behaviors. Mastery of emotional regulation enables individuals to manage intense emotions, and interpersonal effectiveness equips them to communicate and assert their needs constructively.
