DBT teaches skills to its patients that can be applied to any situation in their lives. Because of this principle, therapy need not always strictly focus on the originating issue. It can encompass many aspects of an individual's life and interactions with others.
Integrative and holistic practices such as yoga and meditation are central to DBT; mindfulness is common in both these activities.
