Study Notes
Using DBT Skills to Manage Triggers and React Skillfully
- Neuro pathways in the brain are paved from years of repetition, resulting in quick, automatic responses to triggers.
- DBT skills may feel difficult to access and practice at first, but with repetition, they can become the more natural way of responding.
- When triggered, the rational and intellectual part of the brain shuts down, and the amygdala takes over in fight, flight, or freeze mode.
- It is helpful to be aware of triggers and signs of being in fight, flight, or freeze mode, and to take a moment to pause and regroup.
- A binder or cue cards with DBT skills can be helpful to engage the rational mind, be effective, and self-soothe in triggering situations.
- Coping ahead involves imagining oneself being successful in a triggering situation and repeatedly reading a script until it feels like second nature.
- The pause between being triggered and taking action gives the opportunity to choose a skillful response and return to the situation when the nervous system is relaxed.
- The goal is to cope and deal effectively and skillfully in triggering situations.
