Dr. Heidi Kling | Core Components of Therapeutic Change: Building Skills for Emotional Regulation

Heidi Kling PhD This therapeutic approach consists of several core components aimed at building skills for emotional regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Clients learn techniques to identify and label their emotions, as well as strategies for managing intense feelings in healthy ways. Through experiential exercises and role-playing scenarios, clients practice assertive communication and boundary-setting skills, enhancing their ability to navigate relationships more effectively.

 

Another key component of this therapeutic approach is the development of distress tolerance skills, which help clients cope with crises and setbacks without resorting to harmful behaviors. By learning to tolerate distressing emotions and situations, clients gain a sense of empowerment and self-control. Through exposure to controlled stressors and gradual desensitization, clients build resilience and confidence in their ability to cope with life's challenges.
