Practices that may help

  1. 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.
  2. Behavioral Chain Analysis: The DBT Method for Understanding Problem Behaviors
    Behavioral chain analysis (BCA), a core DBT skill developed by Marsha Linehan, maps every link in the chain of events — from the original vulnerability through the triggering event, thoughts, feelings, and actions — that led to a problem behavior. By making the chain visible, BCA reveals multiple points where the sequence could have been broken, turning a post-hoc autopsy into a concrete prevention plan.
  3. Radical Openness: The RO-DBT Approach to Overcontrol and Loneliness
    Radical Openness is the central skill of Radically Open DBT (RO-DBT), a treatment developed by Thomas Lynch for people who suffer not from impulsivity but from overcontrol — excessive self-restraint, rigidity, and difficulty expressing emotions or receiving feedback. The core practice is developing genuine willingness to be influenced by new information and other people, rather than protecting existing beliefs and behavioral patterns.
  4. 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.
  5. DBT Interpersonal Effectiveness: Getting What You Need Without Destroying the Relationship
    Dialectical Behavior Therapy’s interpersonal effectiveness module gives concrete skills for asking for what you need, saying no, and managing conflict — without sacrificing either your objectives or the relationship. The DEAR MAN, GIVE, and FAST acronyms operationalize three distinct goals (getting results, keeping the relationship, keeping self-respect) that often pull in different directions. DBT as a whole has strong RCT evidence; the interpersonal module is integral to that evidence base.
  6. DEAR MAN: DBT’s Skill for Asking for What You Want Effectively
    DEAR MAN — Describe, Express, Assert, Reinforce, Mindful, Appear confident, Negotiate — is a DBT interpersonal effectiveness skill developed by Marsha Linehan. It structures requests and refusals so they are clear, non-aggressive, and effective, balancing getting what you need with preserving the relationship. The evidence base is embedded in the broader DBT clinical literature.
  7. FAST: DBT’s Skill for Maintaining Self-Respect in Relationships
    FAST — Fair, Apologies (no unnecessary ones), Stick to values, Truthful — is a DBT interpersonal effectiveness skill developed by Marsha Linehan for maintaining self-respect in relationships. While DEAR MAN aims for getting what you need and GIVE aims for relationship health, FAST targets the internal cost: whether you feel like yourself and respect yourself after the interaction.
  8. GIVE: DBT’s Skill for Preserving Relationships During Difficult Conversations
    GIVE — Gentle, Interested, Validate, Easy manner — is a DBT interpersonal effectiveness skill developed by Marsha Linehan for keeping relationships intact during difficult exchanges. While DEAR MAN focuses on getting what you need, GIVE focuses on how you show up so the other person remains willing to engage with you over time.
  9. Ask whether the emotion fits the facts
    After checking, decide whether your emotion is warranted by the actual facts — not the interpretation.
    Check the Facts, Made Practical
  10. 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.
