techniques in behavioural therapy ?

A
  1. graded exposure

  4. Behavioural activation
    - activity scheduling to encourage people to approach the activity they avoid - travel, shopping
  5. Behavioural Management therapy - ABC - deconstructing
    - A= antecedents (build up)
    - B = Behaviour (habits)

24
Q

4 modules of DBT ?

A
  1. mindfullness
    - helps individuals accept and tolerate the powerful emotions they may feel when challenging their habits or exposing themselves to upsetting situations
    - wihtin DBT it is the capacity to pay attention, nonjudgmentally, to the present moment: about the living moment, experiencing ones emotion and senses fully, yet with perspective
    - relies on the principle of acceptance: rely on the patients ability to view situations with no judgment, and to accept situations and their accompanying empotions
  2. Distress tolerance
    - means learning to bear emotional discomfort skillfully, without restorting to maladaptive reactions. Healthier coping behaviours are learned, including intentional self-distraction, self-soothing, and radical acceptance
  3. Emotion regulation
    - emotional regulation skills are based on the theory that intense emotions are a conditioned response to troublesome experiences, the conditioned stimulus, and therefore, are required to alter the patients conditioned response
    - 4 modules: understanding and naming emotions, changing unwanted emotions, reducing vulnerability, and managing extreme conditions
  4. Interpersonal effectiveness
    - the 3 interpersonal skills focused on in the DBT include self-respect, treating others “with care, interest, validation, and respect” and assertiveness
    - the dialetic involved in healthy relationships involves balancing the needs of others with the needs of the self, while maintaining one’s self respect
