Regulating Emotion the DBT Way is a practical guide to the DBT skill of ‘Opposite Action’, which helps clients develop the skill of up- or down-regulating their emotions when necessary. It is the skill that fosters emotional literacy in clients who have learned to fear or avoid painful feelings. Part A of the text introduces emotion theory, describes how to validate emotions, and explains how Linehan’s ‘Opposite Action’ skill is used to regulate problematic responses. There are examples and analogies that can be shared with clients, and clinical examples to demonstrate the key points. There is a description of how DBT therapists contextualise emotion using chain analysis. Part B dedicates a chapter to each of the basic emotions and describes its signature features. A session scenario is included allowing the reader to see how the therapist coaches the skill of opposite action, elicits behavioural rehearsal, and gives corrective feedback. There are some tips on handling common issues specific to that emotion, based on the author’s extensive experience. This book will be of interest to any therapist who wants to learn more about a behavioural approach to emotion such as psychologists, nurses, social workers, psychiatrists, counsellors, cognitive therapists, prison staff, and occupational therapists. It is an accessible explanation of emotion regulation for people who have already undertaken DBT training.

Do you suffer from separation anxiety, fear of abandonment, self-harm, or emotional instability that has prevented you from living a "normal" life? Have negative thoughts taken over, making it hard to control and manage them? Do you experience intense emotions that are difficult to name, such as anger, fear, sadness, and shame? These emotions are nature's way of protecting us, but sometimes trauma can interfere with our ability to regulate them, leading to amplified feelings that can cause devastating effects for ourselves and others. If you struggle with borderline personality disorder (BPD), you likely experience intense and fluctuating emotions, troubling thoughts, and behaviors that make it difficult to maintain healthy relationships with others. Borderline personality disorder is still a stigmatized condition, fueled by ignorance and misinformation that causes unnecessary shame and isolation for its victims. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has become one of the most popular and effective treatments for mental health conditions that are rooted in out-of-control emotions, including BPD. Originally created for the treatment of individuals struggling with suicidal thoughts, DBT has matured into a treatment for a range of other conditions that involve dysfunctional emotional regulation, including substance abuse and eating disorders. It is currently considered the "gold standard" for BPD treatment. If you have experienced anxiety, depression, anger, intense emotional explosions, instability in relationships and self-esteem, concerns about abandonment, feeling misunderstood, helplessness, despair, self-harm, suicidal ideation, or doubts about yourself and your sanity in the last three months, then this book is for you. By reading this book, you will gain insight into the dynamics of BPD and learn techniques for managing and regulating your emotions. Managing emotions can be a daunting task, and without proper guidance, it's easy to spiral into a deeper state of distress. But with this comprehensive toolkit at your fingertips, you can finally take concrete steps towards the life you deserve. If you're ready to break free from the cycle of anxiety and stress, and start living your best life, then this is a must-have addition to your personal library.
