Dialectical behaviour therapy uses flowcharts
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) employs flowcharts to help individuals navigate their emotions and reactions systematically. When faced with anger or frustration, such as being stuck in traffic, the first step is to check the facts to assess the validity of one's feelings. Following this examination, DBT encourages individuals to choose a contrary response. Instead of succumbing to road rage, for instance, one should opt for a positive reframing, such as smiling and expressing determination to make the most of the situation. This structured approach aids in managing emotional responses effectively.
