When emotions hit hard and fast, skills work better than willpower.

Some people feel things harder and faster than others, and it can be hard to come back down. DBT skills help with that. We work on four areas: noticing what you're feeling (mindfulness), riding out a crisis without making it worse (distress tolerance), managing emotions before they boil over (emotion regulation), and asking for what you need while keeping relationships intact (interpersonal effectiveness). This is individual DBT skills work, not a full DBT program with group.
