    #60: Problem Solving

    What DBT skill do you use when your emotion fits the facts? One option is to work on changing the facts. The skill of Problem Solving offers a structured framework to help you change situations that cause painful emotions.   Problem Solving begins, like many of the Emotion Regulation skills in DBT, by naming your emotion. Next, identify your goal in solving the problem and come up with a solution to meet your goal. Break the solution down into small steps. Finally, take action.   Check in with your Wise Mind when using this skill, because Emotion Mind may distort facts or obscure solutions. Practicing this skill can feel like a lot! This episode walks you through each part of this multi-layered skill.   For full show notes, visit our website: https://bayareadbtcc.com/podcast DBT Skills Discussed The "What" Skills of Mindfulness Check the Facts Opposite Action Resources DBT Skills Handouts and Worksheets Ask us a Question We'd love to hear from you!

    #59: Willingness

    Today's episode discusses the DBT skill of Willingness.   Willingness is one of the reality acceptance skills that we teach in Distress Tolerance. This skill can help you let go of fighting what is so you can do what's needed in each situation - without dragging your feet or holding onto a grudge.   One way to understand Willingness is to think of its opposite: Willfulness. When Willfulness is present, you're fighting reality, trying to control things, or being passive when action is needed. Your Willfulness might show up differently depending on the situation.   For full show notes, visit our website: https://bayareadbtcc.com/podcast DBT Skills Discussed Distress Tolerance Part 2 Radical Acceptance Turning the Mind Half-smile Willing Hands Ask us a Question We'd love to hear from you!

    Once you have grasp of the DEAR MAN skill, you might find yourself getting stuck when you try to use it in difficult interactions.

    #56: Emotions Explained: Shame

    Shame is one of the most painful emotions we can experience.    This episode explores what shame is, when the emotion is useful (and when it's not), and skills to help you cope when shame threatens to overwhelm you.   Shame is a social emotion that motivates us to repair transgressions that might result in us being excluded from a group we want (or need) to belong to. Many of us, though, experience a lot of unjustified shame, where we assume we will be rejected if parts of ourselves are revealed.   DBT Skills Discussed   Check the Facts For full show notes, visit our website: https://bayareadbtcc.com/podcast Ask us a Question We'd love to hear from you!

    #55: Emotions Explained: Fear

    Today's episode focuses on the emotion of fear. At its most fundamental, fear keeps us safe. It guides us to fight, flee, or freeze in the face of danger.   Often, though, fear can be chronic, manifesting as anxiety, worry, or tension even when we are safe. This episode helps you identify fear in all its manifestations and provides tools to help you cope with it.

    #54: Emotions Explained: Anger

    In this episode, Marielle and Ed discuss the emotion of anger. In its most useful form, anger moves us to protect and defend ourselves and those we care about.   Many people, though, find anger frightening because they have witnessed destructive expressions of anger such as emotional or physical violence. This episode unpacks the emotion of anger so you can understand it in yourself and potentially in others.   Sometimes anger fits the facts, and sometimes faulty interpretations can intensify anger, making us believe that we are being treated unfairly or that things should be different than they are. Skills such as Observing and Describing Emotions, Paced Breathing, Check the Facts and Opposite Action can be particularly helpful in responding to anger effectively.   For full show notes, visit our website: https://bayareadbtcc.com/podcast DBT Skills Discussed Observing and Describing Emotions Check the Facts Opposite Action Paced Breathing Ask us a Question We'd love to hear from you!
