The method

How Faith-Based DBT works

DBT teaches four core skills — mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and healthier relationships. Dr. Bustillo grounds each one in your faith: mindfulness through contemplative prayer, distress tolerance through trust in God, and so on. Practical tools and spiritual strength, working together.

Faith is central to this approach — but always at your invitation. If you’d prefer standard DBT without the spiritual element, that works beautifully too.
