Marsha Linehan on Areas of Emotion

Working with Emotion

Until we begin to understand the functions of emotions, why we have them, what their effect is on others, we cannot expect to change them.

There are 3 major functions of emotions:

  1. Emotions Communicate to and Influence Others
  2. Emotions Organize and Motivate Action
  3. Emotions Can Be Self-Validating

The functions of emotions effect our lives in a number of ways, and can have enormous impacts on our relationship with trauma.

Dr Marsha Linehan has dedicated her life to developing and testing treatments to benefit individuals on a global scale.

Her personal insight in the treatment of mental health is invaluable.

Dr Marsha Linehan will be presenting three-day workshops in Sydney & Melbourne in March 2017. These workshops will provide instruction and experiential practice in the DBT mindfulness skills and introduce updated and new applications of skills in the areas of emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Radical acceptance rests on letting go of the illusion of control and a willingness to notice and accept things as they are right now, without judging.
