Take control of your emotions
Living with “out-of-control” emotions is a powerless and miserable experience. These emotions create unstable relationships, intense anger, extreme mood swings, impulsive and risky behavior, chronic feelings of emptiness, self-harm or suicidal behaviors.
Left untreated, the problems resulting from rampant emotions can be catastrophic to your relationships, career, health and general well-being.
DBT can help you take control of your emotions and your life.
Living with “out-of-control” emotions
Jack worked hard and loved his friends and family. But frequently, his temper got the best of him. He screamed. He threw things. He threatened. After intense arguments with his wife, sometimes he would head to the bar to “get away from it all.” On more than one occasion, this led to him going home with a stranger. After one of these ‘escapes,’ Jack hated himself for what he did and for always “blowing up.” He felt like life was not worth living – suicide seemed like the only way out of hell.
Sheila was a fun and energetic 20-something with an active social life. However, she often lost friends and relationships and didn’t understand why. People told her she was too ‘intense.’ Of course, she felt strongly about her friends – she’d do anything for them! Yet when she felt they were blowing her off, her world went into chaos.
Sheila couldn’t tolerate how she felt. Cutting herself or binge-eating sometimes helped to quiet the feelings, but not for long. She begged, bargained, and even threatened. People abandoned her anyway, and she was miserable.
