Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and reducing impulsive actions, which can be helpful for mood instability and self-regulation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early relationship patterns and how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses, offering a way to heal attachment wounds and improve connection with others.
