Episode 5: Neurology and Problematic Behaviors

In this episode, we're diving into "target behaviors" in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy). We explore how these behaviors, developed by highly sensitive individuals in response to invalidating environments, serve as coping mechanisms.

From childhood, many of us learn to suppress emotions to maintain connection and security. These behaviors, while initially protective, can lead to challenges with emotional regulation and self-expression.

Join us as we discuss the neurological development of these patterns and explore compassionate approaches in DBT to rewire our responses to emotions.
