If you treat clients with emotion regulation
disorders—including depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress
disorder (PTSD), bipolar disorder, and borderline personality
disorder (BPD)—you know how important it is for these clients
to take control of their emotions and choose their actions in
accordance with their values. To help, emotion efficacy therapy
(EET) provides a new, theoretically-driven, contextually-based
treatment that integrates components from acceptance and
commitment therapy (ACT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)
into an exposure-based protocol. In doing so, EET targets the
transdiagnostic drivers of experiential avoidance and distress
intolerance to increase emotional efficacy.
