Personal Insights

  • This app uses Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT), an evidence-based psychological treatment used to help regulate strong emotions and change behavioural patterns, such as self-harm. It can also be used to regulate other kinds of emotions or urges – other than self-harming behaviours. There is a great variety of activities and a passcode option for more privacy.
