Episode 27. Emotional Regulation & Distress Tolerance

In this weeks episode of the podcast I talk about techniques we can all use to build our tolerance to distress and ability to regulate our emotions. We talk about strategies that can be found within Dialectical Behavioural Therapy or DBT, developed by Marsha Lineman and about how the aim is to widen our window of tolerance over time. I also share some examples from my own life in which I struggle to stay regulated all the time. I hope you get some value from this episode. Please remember to subscribe to the 'Know Your Own Psychology' podcast and write a review if you enjoyed it. 

As promised, here is link to a useful DBT workbook if anyone would like to dive a bit deeper and learn some more DBT skills.
