DBT and Me: Dialectical Behavior Therapy in Action

Ep. 71 See DBT: Dialectical Behavior Therapy in action! DBT is a therapy used to treat people with Borderline Personality Disorder, Depression, and Generalized Anxiety. DBT helps to reprogram your brain by focusing on today and making better decisions based on the information at hand. It also helps with emotional regulation, which is something I have been working on.  DBT can be used at any point to help me practice mindfulness, manage my emotions and respond to a situation. It is not just one thing. It's a method of processing information and developing tools that work best for me. To help with this, I have been using a workbook that helps me unpack events that provoke a strong emotional response. The worksheets help me identify the why's of my feelings without judgement allowing me a safe place to develop healthier reactions. In this episode, you will learn the following: The importance of having a guide to assist with understanding emotional regulation. What "tools" look like and how to implement DBT techniques. Learn first-hand how I use DBT when I have an overwhelming emotional reaction during the podcast.   Credits Hosted by Coach Kelly Marie, founder of Front Seat Life LLC IG @thefrontseatlife FB @thefrontseatlife Email [e-mail]  Produced & edited by Jazzy T IG @Jazzytonair    Click Here to rate & review on Apple Podcast  Rate & Share this Podcast from Spotify Add this show to your collection on Pandora.
