If you’ve been struggling with intense emotions, relationship challenges, or feeling stuck in unhelpful patterns, you’re not alone. You don’t have to have a diagnosis—or be in crisis—to benefit from support. This quiz is designed to help you explore whether Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) might be a good match for your needs and goals.
What This Quiz Is (And Isn’t)
This quiz is part of our interactive mental health assessment series, built to help you reflect on meaningful emotional patterns and coping strategies. It pulls from core themes in DBT like emotion dysregulation, distress tolerance struggles, and interpersonal difficulties.
But just like all self-assessments, this quiz isn’t a diagnosis or a definitive answer. Think of it as a guided reflection—a tool to help you decide if it’s worth exploring DBT further.
When to Take This Quiz
This quiz might be helpful if:
- Your emotions often feel intense or hard to manage.
- You experience mood swings or impulsive reactions.
- You struggle with conflict, boundaries, or feeling misunderstood in relationships.
- You’ve tried other approaches but still feel overwhelmed, reactive, or stuck.
- You find it hard to cope without numbing out, shutting down, or harming yourself.
Using the Quiz Wisely
- Answer honestly based on your typical experiences.
- Reflect on what your results mean for you—not as a label, but as insight.
- Take action if you feel ready—by talking to your therapist, starting DBT, or simply continuing your self-exploration.
You’re Not Alone
Struggling with big emotions, unstable relationships, or overwhelming stress isn’t a sign of weakness. It’s a sign you may need different tools—and DBT offers exactly that. Whether or not the quiz points to DBT as a clear fit, the fact that you’re reflecting is a strong and important step.
