Have you struggled with setting boundaries or asking for what you want in an effective way? This episode is for you! Lena shares her wisdom as a DBT therapist, teaching you how to use the DEAR MAN skill for interpersonal effectiveness.
The DEAR MAN skill is a powerful technique used in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help individuals effectively communicate their needs, set boundaries, and assertively make requests. It is an acronym that stands for:
D - Describe the situation objectively.
E - Express your feelings and opinions about the situation.
A - Assertively ask for what you want or need.
R - Reinforce the benefits or positive outcomes of your request.
M - Stay mindful and focused on your goal.
A - Appear confident and maintain good body language.
N - Negotiate and be willing to find a compromise if needed.
By using the DEAR MAN skill, individuals can enhance their communication skills and improve their ability to navigate difficult situations while maintaining self-respect and healthy relationships.
