Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Skills for Emotional Regulation and Stress Tolerance
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) helps women manage intense emotions, tolerate distress, and respond to stress with greater balance — particularly during recovery.
DBT is especially supportive for women who feel emotionally overwhelmed, reactive, or unsure how to cope without alcohol or substances.
This approach may be helpful for women who struggle with emotional swings, difficulty setting boundaries, or managing stress in relationships and daily life.
At Tranquil Palms, DBT skills are introduced through individual therapy and women’s groups. Women learn tools for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and grounding — always at a pace that feels manageable and supportive.
