It is based on experiential learning of emotion regulation techniques (without unnecessary struggle or avoidance) and reducing the influence that dysfunctional thoughts and beliefs may have on the individual. Thus, the patient learns to live more freely and in accordance with their values. Before visiting a mental health specialist, individuals often try for some time to control their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors by various means without success. A psychiatrist can provide a variety of methods and tools so that the patient can choose those that suit them best and help effectively address their problems.
