You want a life that works. Everyone longs for a life worth living, one that matches what’s important to you. One that’s free of intense emotional pain, in which you thrive in your relationships, have fun and get what you want out of life.
What gets in the way? Maybe it’s the emotion that’s overwhelming and intense, or feeling like you’re “too much” for other people. Or maybe it’s seeing things differently from the people around you, or having big emotional responses to things that later seem small.
Do you run into problems creating healthy connections with other people? Do you feel like problems with work and school keep repeating? Do you feel overwhelmed by the thought of trying to keep up with the daily demands of your life? Your external world might depend on how you feel in the moment, rather than on your bigger goals.
You experience a lot of shame and self-loathing. You judge yourself, feel different and feel cut off from others. You wonder if something is really wrong with you.
The truth is that you deserve a treatment that works. One that’s been researched and understood, one that helps you address the emotional reactivity you’re facing head-on. DBT skills can help!
