– Distress Tolerance
– Emotional Regulation
– Interpersonal Effectiveness
Summary
– Many disorders involve some amount of emotional dysregulation
– That dysregulation can be caused by high sensitivity and reactivity due to:
– Innate characteristics and poor environmental fit
– External traumas and lack of support
– DBT seeks first to help the person replace self-defeating behaviors with self-care behaviors
– Emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness are addressed in the second phase of treatment
– A variety of tools are imparted to clients to help them
– Set SMART goals
– Identify and understand emotions and their functions
– Decrease unwanted emotional and behavioral responses
– Develop a more effective, compassionate and supportive relationship with self and others
– Not every tool will work for every person. It takes some experimentation
