DBT-Informed Therapy: Tools for Regulation, Boundaries, and Burnout
I'm DBT-informed in my clinical work, drawing on dialectical behavior therapy skills — distress tolerance, emotional regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness — especially for clients who are running on empty from over-functioning at work and under-functioning in their own self-care.
How I Use It
-
Building distress tolerance skills for high-stakes moments at work, without shutting down or over-explaining yourself
-
Practicing interpersonal effectiveness — saying no, setting a boundary, asking for support — especially where hyperindependence has made asking for help feel unsafe
-
Emotional regulation strategies that don't require you to mask or perform composure you don't feel
