Interpersonal Effectiveness

Interpersonal Effectiveness is a fundamental module in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that empowers individuals to navigate their relationships more effectively. This module teaches essential skills that help you assert your needs and set boundaries respectfully, maintain self-respect during interactions, and build and sustain healthy relationships. These skills are vital for anyone who finds it challenging to say no, express their needs, or manage conflicts without feelings of guilt or aggression. The primary goals of Interpersonal Effectiveness include achieving personal goals in social situations, maintaining or improving relationships, and preserving self-respect. By mastering these skills, you can interact effectively, ensuring your needs are met while also respecting the needs of others.
