Deep dives
Over-Controlled Coping
Over-controlled coping is a concept in radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RODBT) that focuses on individuals who use excessive self-control and emotional restraint to navigate the world. This coping style is characterized by traits such as emotional suppression, social isolation, rigidity, and emotion-driven behaviors. Over-controlled coping can lead to challenges in forming connections with others, experiencing emotional distress despite outward composure, and hindering personal and emotional growth.
Under-Controlled Coping
Under-controlled coping involves impulsive and emotionally dysregulated behaviors. This coping style is characterized by traits such as emotional dysregulation, impulsivity, emotion-driven behaviors, and emotional instability. Individuals with under-controlled coping struggle with managing their emotions, often acting impulsively and struggling with emotional stability. This coping style can lead to interpersonal conflict, emotional suffering, and impaired decision-making.
