Another helpful Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skill is planning. If there is a stressful event, it might help to come up with a “game plan.” My therapist told me about this. Basically, you come up with a “pre-game” plan, or plan what you do before the stressful event. Then, a “game” plan for the time when you are actually in the stressful event. Finally, you can have a “post-game” plan. This can include ways to “decompress.”
DBT is a very effective therapy for many different mental disorders. I use the three game plans for when I need to go to work. I do some things before my shift, during my shift and after my shift. The game plans help regulate my emotions.
