Emotional Resiliency (ER) treatment was developed from a blend of the “third wave” cognitive-behavioral therapies, including CBT, DBT, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), self-compassion, and mindfulness. Emotional resiliency is a skillset that allows us to navigate stressors without becoming burnt out, emotionally exhausted, emotionally avoidant, or hopeless. Building emotional resiliency involves learning to understand emotions, communicate emotions, and accept or change emotions depending on what’s effective in a particular situation. As part of ER treatment, clients also learn how to reduce their emotional vulnerability, recover from burnout, identify and change behaviors that are contributing to distress, and set and hold appropriate limits with others. ER treatment is skills-oriented, meaning that sessions focus not only on discussing your current thoughts, behaviors, emotions, and experiences, but also teaching and practicing new skills.
