Creating a Coping Plan Using CARESS to Reduce Target Behaviors
When big stressors and emotions happen, we can feel overwhelmed and struggle to cope. The outcome can be engaging in self-harm target behaviors.
But if we know something difficult is coming up for us, we can think ahead and create a coping plan. One way to do this is by using a technique called CARESS, as developed by Lisa Ferentz, LSCW-C DAPA.
In this video, Dr. May will thoroughly review how to create a cope ahead plan in a general way and using the CARESS skill.

      @jennifermayph.d.2761 17 днів тому

      There are many different subjects for behavior chain analyses, including the complex issue you describe. The main thing is to learn how to do a behavior chain in general so that you can do one for yourself or your clients about any issue. The specific “chains” that lead up to a behavior are very personal and the alternative skillful behaviors need to feel “right” and be doable. I would suggest that you wait until an actual incident arises and do a detailed behavior chain the next day while the situation is fresh. Write it down step by step and see what you can discover.

    This is such an informative video! Thank you so much. I have been the favorite person a few times in my life, and each of those friends had BPD. Now that I understand so much more about people who have this I can steer clear of the signs and symptoms if I ever see it in a new friend. TBH it was extremely disturbing and creepy to be the FP. Ultimately when it got to be too suffocating, I had to leave! Each and every time I ran away from the person they thought I was abandoning them. However, it was really more self preservation for me and an act of self love... the final time it happened, at least I learned to keep my exit strategy as brief and civil with as little emotional drama as possible.

      Actually, no. Believe it or not, RO DBT is not designed for people with BPD. It’s designed for people who are “overcontrolled” rather than “under controlled.” (This is illustrated in many of the other videos I posted.). In general a “don’t hurt me” response is similar to a “fawn” or “submit” survival response which can be seen in humans as well as other species.

    im an OT so this is all quite interesting to me, on top of my trauma background and anxious ambivalent attachment. i lean hard into ambivalence and hyper independence, whereas I felt that video highlighted more of the anxious root of things that is so difficult for me to relate to for some reason. its so easy for me to disconnect once i shut down. for whatever reason im still able to have healthy friendships, mentorships, great client rapport... its interesting to me that after my 10 years of on and off psychotherapy, i'm only just realizing some of these things. maybe someone else suspected an issue but never asked about it. anyway looking forward to checking more of these videos, potentially buying the book, and trying to incorporate some of the lessons when relevant in my OT practice.

    Thank you so much for sharing the actual techniques, Jennifer 🙏🏼 I have found a lot of videos explaining the concepts and principles behind the HeartMath research, but not much about the actual practical application. They typically mention one can use their techniques, but they don’t actually describe them. Your video was super helpful in that regard. One thing I’m still not sure about is how do those monitoring apps and devices they sell help with actually getting into the state of coherence? I get that they indicate whether you’re in it or not (or to what degree), but do they actually help with reaching coherence?

    • @jennifermayph.d.2761
      @jennifermayph.d.2761 Місяць тому

    • @patmat3608

This includes constant commentary to them throughout the day, imaginary conversations and scenarios where they 'rescue me'. I am very aware of what the person means to me which is why I avoid in person interactions as much as possible. Anyone else experience it like this?

      Your patients are lucky to have you. Your knowledge of this information is amazing. I asked because I’ve recently started working with. Sensorimotor therapist and it’s been about 4-5 sessions of talk therapy. They have not been productive. Albeit it’s virtual. I’m not sure if she’s a good fit or sensorimotor is best in person. Not sure how a typical sensorimotor session goes. Any insight?
