While Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is commonly associated with its four primary skill modules—mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness—there's another essential, often underemphasized component at play: positive reinforcement. When used strategically, positive reinforcement taps into the brain's neuroplasticity, reshaping harmful behavior patterns and strengthening emotional regulation. This approach is particularly impactful for individuals prone to self-harm, impulsivity, and emotional dysregulation.
