Study Notes
Emotion Regulation
- Emotion regulation helps navigate powerful feelings effectively, identifying, naming, and changing emotions
- Recognizing and coping with intense negative emotions reduces emotional vulnerability and increases positive emotional experiences
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
- Developed by Marsha Linehan at the University of Washington in the 1970s for women with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and a history of chronic self-harm and suicide attempts
- Goals:
- Teach people to live in the moment
- Develop healthy ways to cope with stress
- Regulate emotions
- Improve relationships with others
- Focuses on finding a balance in opposing forces (dialectical means two opposite ideas can be true at the same time)
DBT Modes
- Group therapy: teaches behavioral skills in a group setting
- Individual therapy: adapts learned behavioral skills to personal life challenges
- Phone coaching: provides guidance on coping with difficult situations between sessions
4 Stages of DBT
- Stage 1: Addresses serious and self-destructive behaviors (e.g., self-injury, suicidal behaviors)
- Stage 2: Focuses on issues affecting quality of life (e.g., interpersonal effectiveness, emotional regulation skills, distress tolerance)
- Stage 3: Examines issues related to self-esteem and interpersonal relationships
Core Concepts
- Mindfulness: helps focus on the present, paying attention to thoughts, feelings, sensations, and impulses without judgment
- Distress Tolerance: teaches techniques to accept oneself and the current situation, including distraction, self-soothing, and thinking of pros and cons
- Interpersonal Effectiveness: helps become more assertive in relationships while keeping them positive and healthy
