Many people’s distress comes from emotions, especially negative emotions that are not under their control. Today, I will introduce to you a psychological treatment method, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBTh), which originated from dealing with a clinical problem that makes us psychological counselors particularly troubled, which is a marginal obstacle. The most typical manifestations of some of these people I serve are instability, emotional instability, interpersonal relationships, and unstable thinking. Their emotions are often very big, but they don’t know how to understand and accommodate their emotions. Sometimes they even use very destructive methods such as howling, smashing things, and self-injuring to relieve their pain.
The method to heal this type of population is that their mood improvement is clinically improved, and there is a large amount of knowledgeable research data. I gave him a concept, which is competitive behavior therapy. This therapy belongs to cognitive behavior therapy in a broad sense. Its most prominent features are dialectics and behavior. Dialectical, he thinks that I have done my best and done well, and at the same time, he thinks that we can do better. He emphasizes acceptance and change, and he will never let you fall into disappointment in yourself. He will help us learn the dialectical thinking method, improve our ability to look at things comprehensively and objectively, and ultimately reduce the possibility of emotional disorders and behavioral abnormalities. Another characteristic is behavior. He pays great attention to practice and all methods will be implemented in action. He will teach a series of skills, and he believes that this type of people lacks emotional processing skills, so he will teach us how to recognize our emotions and identify our ineffective ways to deal with them. Then use new skills to replace dialectical behavioral therapy.
During my consultation process, I will give this group of people four modules. First, it is positive skills, which is the basis of the next three modules, and its core is non-judgmental. Observe your internal or external environment and pay attention to the present without condition. Second, it is emotional regulation skills, which will be observed and described in this area and vent. Emotional and problem-solving skills, etc., will help everyone develop regular rest, make sleep exercise habits, and thus reduce the fragility of emotional beliefs. It also includes how to build valuable things, why you should live, clarify your values, goals and action steps, etc. The third is interpersonal relationship skills . It will teach us how to practice dialectical concepts in interpersonal relationships. For example, it will teach us how to make a request or reject others confidently, how to balance the goal relationship and freedom, how to find people based on the same values, and establish relationships with them, and of course how to end an equally destructive relationship, etc. Fourth, it is painful tolerance, which mainly includes two parts, crisis, survival and acceptance skills. When we are emotionally impulsive, we can use crisis survival skills such as stopping and taking deep breaths, gradual muscles, how to relax, and how to divert attention and self-soothing. The acceptance technique teaches us how to accept what life is, accept some painful and unchangeable events and objective facts, etc.
The dialectical behavioral therapy mentioned earlier is action. Its concepts and skills look good, but it is not that easy to do. It requires us to try boldly and practice continuously. When we use this method to this group of people, we will also accompany this group of people. Of course, the most excellent thing about this therapy is that even if you can't stick to it or work hard, you can't achieve many of these requirements. It won't blame you. Instead, you have to accept that you can't do it for the time being and then set off. I am the psychological counselor Li Yiyong, welcome to leave a message and comment.
