In this episode, Wendy is joined by Christine Dunkley who is a consultant trainer of DBT, international author and emotional regulation specialist. She explains how DBT enables you to regulate your emotions. So, you can decrease or increase them when you need to. It is not about ignoring that emotion and its message, its about keeping your reaction in line with the seriousness of the situation.



KEY TAKEAWAYS

 

  • DBT is a talking therapy that is related to CBT, which is available on the NHS.
  • The woman who created DBT had herself recovered from serious mental health issues.
  • We need to provide people with the right response at the right moment.
  • DBT gives you the tools to regulate your emotions, without switching them off or ignoring the message it is sending you.
  • Each emotion produces signature features in the body e.g. tension which you can influence and use to turn the emotion down.
  • DBT is delivered by a team of therapists.
  • DBT is great for distress tolerance.
  • No matter how badly you are suffering, there is always a way out - a path back to true joy.



BEST MOMENTS

 

‘Regulation is matching the amount of emotion you´ve got to the situation you´re in.’

‘We almost never decrease the emotion to zero because your emotions are so important.’

“You have to change your physiology to actually work on your emotions.”

ABOUT THE HOST

Wendy Castelino has been working as a psychotherapist for over thirty-five years. As an accredited CBT and EMDR practitioner, she is committed to upholding the rigorous standards required for these accreditations and helping thousands of people reach their full potential.

 

Wendy currently runs a private practice where her focus is on CBT. Therapy is constantly evolving into developing new techniques, so she studies hard to integrate them into her therapy, to provide a rich and effective experience.

 

Wendy is aware that working in one-to-one therapy limits the number of people she can see.  She has, therefore, created a range of online resources. These resources are designed to be easy to follow and provide clear, step-by-step instructions. This can help the individual to master skills and gain confidence, therefore optimising the therapy sessions. They are also suitable to be used on their own.
