Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?
- I lose my temper with my kid and then feel sick about it for hours
- The fear tells me to avoid and the hurt tells me to lash out, and every time I obey the urge it just feeds the feeling bigger
- The second my kid starts melting down I feel my own chest tighten and my patience snap, and I react from that heat
- The instant a feeling hits I’m already inside it, reacting before I’ve had a single second to choose
- When a big feeling crashes over me it’s like I become it
Practices that may help
- DBT Emotion Regulation Skills, Made Practical
DBT’s emotion regulation module teaches you to understand what emotions are and why they fire, reduce vulnerability to emotional overwhelm, and change unwanted emotional states through specific skills. DBT as a whole has strong randomized-trial support; the individual skills are established clinical practice rather than separately trialed units. - Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills, Made Practical
DBT is a skills-based approach built around a balance — accepting yourself as you are while working to change — taught through four skill sets: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. It has strong randomized-trial support, particularly for chronic emotion dysregulation and self-harm. - Manage your own emotional state before responding
A regulated parent is the single most powerful behavior management tool available.
Triple P Parenting (Matthew Sanders) - Check the facts and opposite action
Test whether an emotion fits the facts; if it doesn’t, act opposite to its urge to change it.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills, Made Practical - The STOP Skill: A DBT Technique for Crisis Moments
The STOP skill — Stop, Take a step back, Observe, Proceed mindfully — is a DBT distress-tolerance technique designed to interrupt impulsive, emotion-driven action in crisis moments. It creates a brief deliberate pause between an emotional trigger and a response, allowing the rational mind to re-engage. DBT as a whole has strong RCT evidence; the STOP skill is a defined component of that validated package. - Become aware of your own emotional reactions first
A parent who is flooded by their child’s distress cannot coach it — self-awareness is the prerequisite.
Emotion Coaching (John Gottman) - Mindfulness and Wise Mind
Observe and describe your experience without judgment, finding the balance between emotion mind and reason mind.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Skills, Made Practical - Mindfulness of the current emotion
Observe the emotion as a wave passing through — without judging it, feeding it, or running from it.
DBT Emotion Regulation Skills, Made Practical - Practice emotion coaching during low-stakes moments
Build the skill in small moments so it’s available in the big ones.
Emotion Coaching (John Gottman) - Accumulate positive experiences
