DBT Emotion Regulation #5: Self Validation

Self-validation is a distinctive DBT skill that focuses on accepting the emotions you are experiencing. If you have trouble regulating your emotions, then you probably have a hard time accepting them in the first place as well.

Dear DBT, can you please help us understand what is the purpose of Step 3 Understanding? Why are we doing this step? How does it help us?

Is it, for example, that by understanding the events that caused these uncomfortable emotions, we can then have self-empathy ... and then we can say to ourselves things like "Anyone who went through that experience would feel that way?" or "It is understandable and reasonable that you would feel that way, that is a very human response"

Thank you for your help

How is it that people can feel an emotion but then can let it go?

Ive always had trouble stopping myself from crying since I was young. I keep hearing how people are embarrassed of me, from my mom and teachers and others. Even if I find a safe place to cry and let it out, that feeling won’t leave until the next day it seems.
