@lindsaybraman: If we don't get the chance to learn from well-regulated adults when we're growing up, learning how to regulate emotions as an adult is a SUPER challenging task. For decades, #psychology had some catch-all diagnoses and a lot of dismissal for folks left to figure out this task as teens and adults. Marsha Linehan, the creator of #DBT and someone who'd been on the client side of #psychotherapy and experienced the failures of then-current models, did something remarkable. She developed a new model- a model that breaks down the extremely complex task of growing the ability to regulate emotions into a set of skills. If learned, practiced, and added to our #emotional vocabulary one at a time, the skills stack to create a skillset very similar to how people raised by supportive, nurturing, and emotionally mature parents intuitively navigate big feelings. DBT is a therapy model that includes 1:1 therapy as well as learning and practicing skills in a group setting. I created the DBT Activity Book as a user-friendly #neurodivergent accessible alternative to workbooks.
