Dialectical Behavioral Therapy

is based on (CBT). It focuses on how we see the world, how we think, and also how we behave. At first, it was used in working with suicidal people and also those who have borderline personality disorder.
Now it is used with depressed and anxiety prone people in general. Now only is the individual talk how to deal with conflict, and negative self talk, but one is taught social skills needed to get along well with others, but also strategies that help them achieve their goals. The idea is that we all are trying to live the best we can at any moment.
