Connecting DBT and ACT in Mindful Connections

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) can together help individuals who may be struggling by combining emotional acceptance with practical, skills-based tools to manage intense emotions, reduce impulsive behaviors, and improve emotional stability. DBT provides concrete skills in distress tolerance and regulation, while ACT fosters psychological flexibility to live according to one’s values rather than emotional urges.
