In this episode, Dr. Jessica Tyler talks with Sara Ellison, an associate licensed counselor, nationally certified counselor, and doctoral student on perfectionism and overcontrol. They discuss how perfectionism impacts individuals' wellness, along with the parallel process of being a counselor or counselor-in-training who struggles with perfectionistic and overcontrolled tendencies. This episode is for anyone who identifies with the fear of failure, impression management, masking emotions, and overcontrol. Recommendations for infusing openness and flexibility into practice through RO-DBT and other techniques is also discussed.

Are you good at doing things “right,” following the rules, and controlling your emotions? Maybe a little too good? Do people in your life sometimes have a hard time believing how much you're struggling with your mental health because you seem so “high functioning?” If so, you might have an Overcontrolled style of coping. This is a temperamentally based trait that means you are highly detail-focused, attuned to threat, and high in something called inhibitory control. Inhibitory control is the ability to inhibit one's impulses and behaviors. Many people who have an Overcontrolled style of coping look like they have it all together on the outside, but they don't feel like they do, and their suffering often goes unnoticed. Focusing too much on doing everything “right” can lead to rigidity, perfectionism, and loneliness, making it hard to connect with others and enjoy life. My guest on today's episode is Larry Dahmer – a psychological associate at Health Sciences North in Sudbury, Ontario CA who specializes in a new treatment modality for those who struggle with overcontrolled coping styles called Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT.) Topics covered in this episode: ■ What is Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT)?■ How is RO-DBT different from standard DBT?■ Understanding the problem of emotional overcontrol■ The importance of self-inquiry in RO-DBT■ How emotional overcontrol is praised and encouraged in Western society■ How we can “welcome hopelessness, despair and anxiety as teachers”■ Who might be a good fit for RO-DBT?■ Life-changing stories of transformation that Larry has witnessed in his RO-DBT clients Learn more about RO-DBT at https://www.radicallyopen.net/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Jenny Copeland, PsyD   So many of us in the community, whether it's in healthcare, or university settings, or fitness centers, are told “We don't see eating disorders here”. Dr. Copeland describes her setting in community mental health, and how they have grown to not only screen for eating disorders (and SHOCK to find many with Eds) but to provide excellent eating disorders care for those without insurance. An important takeaway is to find your people who are willing to learn and train – this way more people can receive care. These case managers are like “Therapy Extenders” We also learn what it's like to have our bodies show up in the room, because our body as meaning in the room.  What is Thin Privilege and how to work through grief if we are not in a privileged body. It's also important to have ‘lots of apologies' for harm we didn't intend to cause – not to have the client try to make us feel better, but showing them how WE are going to do the work. What about standing on the scale?  Is it more about the belief that it helps us ‘know how to eat'? Or could it be more about knowing how to feel? Did you know that 70-80% of therapists are OC (over-controlled)?  Dr. Copeland appreciates RO-DBT (radically open dialectical behavioral therapy) for people who like rules and routine and structure, and this is for eating disorders and so much more.

Understanding Shame as an outcome of trauma from Sexual Abuse and Violence with Clinical Psychologist Stephanie Allen and Ilana Karpin from Life & Mind Psychology https://lifeandmind.com.au Stephanie Allen is the Founder of Life & Mind Psychology and has been creating and growing her practice in Sydney, Australia, where she has been the Principal Clinical Psychologist for over a decade. This is truly a remarkable open discussion with two leading Australian Clinical Psychologists who fantastically educate us that shame as a symptom of sexual abuse related trauma can be successfully treated and that evidence based techniques do in fact work. The information Stephanie and Ilana share is crucial for survivors of sexual abuse and for people who have a survivor in their life. SHAME is a common outcome of sexual violence. The experience of shame in a survivor's daily life can lead to debilitating and dangerous mental and physical issues which can heavily contribute to many destructive coping behaviours when not safely addressed and treated.

In today’s episode of Psych Talk I talk with Lauren Ruth Martin, LPC about Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT). Lauren explains the similarities and differences between standard DBT and RO-DBT and the type of presenting issues clients may have that would benefit from DBT and/or RO-DBT. Lauren discusses the core concepts of RO-DBT, as well as the RO skills including self-inquiry and social signaling. Lauren discusses the differences between being overcontrolled and under-controlled and how RO-DBT really focuses on only changing the aspects of our behaviors that are preventing us from reaching our value aligned goals. She provides listeners with RO skills that people can start using and implementing in their daily life. During the podcast interview we had some connectivity difficulties, which I have kept in this episode, as the difficulties allowed Lauren to use the RO skills in real-time, which is valuable modeling for listeners.www.radicallyopen.netConnect with Lauren:Instagram: @laurenruthmartinTikTok: @laurenruthmartinPodcast: A Novel LifeWays to Work With Me:1:1 CoachingMind Over MatterLGBTQ+ Affirming MasterclassBe a guest on my podcastResources:Value Aligned 2021 JournalAnti-Racism ResourcesLGBTQ+ Affirming ResourcesThe Helping Professional's Guide to Boundary SettingConnect with Me:Follow me on IG @jessicaleighphd.Follow me on TikTok @jessicaleighphdJoin my Facebook community: Grow Through What You Go ThroughIntro/Outro Music:Life of Riley by Kevin MacLeodMusic License

How does Opal think about anti-racism work within eating disorder treatment?  After a bit of a hiatus following the murder of George Floyd and the resurgence of the Black Lives Matter movement, this episode breaks the silence on what we've been learning and implementing within the walls of Opal: Food + Body Wisdom around anti-racism. Co-Founders Julie Church, Lexi Giblin, and Kara Bazzi sit down with host Carter Umhau to discuss what Opal's been up to the last few months and how treatment at Opal hasn't been adequately anti-racist in the past and what they plan to do about it. They'll share a bit about their own process, how they see the need for anti-racism work within the eating disorder field, and touch on what this looks like in the HAES, RO DBT, and sport worlds.    Links: Aiko Bethea and RARE: Coaching and Consulting   Gloria Lucas -- Nalgona Positivity Pride   Desiree Adaway --Whiteness at Work Summer Series   Barbara Love --The Liberatory Consciousness Model   The Racial Healing Handbook by Anneliese Singh   How to Be Antiracist by Ibram X.

 How have you experienced unwanted energy and emotion during the coronavirus pandemic? The Appetite crew is getting vulnerable and answering this question, using the Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO DBT) skill of self-inquiry. Opal Co-Founder and RO DBT expert Dr. Lexi Giblin, PhD, CEDS shares how the skill of self-inquiry can be used during this time to move toward emotion in a compassionate, curious, and containing way. Lexi, along with Opal's other two Co-Founders—Kara Bazzi, LMFT, CEDS and Julie Church, RDN, CEDRD-S, CD—and host and therapist Carter Umhau, LMHC will each reflect on what has been coming up for them emotionally during the shelter-in-place order.

Welcome Kari Anderson to our podcast! You can learn all about her at www.myeatingdoctor.com. She has also written a book and has a new one coming this year. Kari, Jill and Meredith discuss new interventions that continue to emerge that can be used in the treatment of eating disorders as well as established interventions.  What reason do new interventions and modalities perhaps not interest newer practioners in the field of eating disorders? What reason are "older" interventions and modalities not encouraged or used anymore (they are but actually often "repackaged"  as often in the field? How can we incorporate all of them, even as one practioner? CBT, DBT, ACT, IFS, RO-DBT, etc. There are so many amazing tools to place in a clinicians tool box. Listen on, on how to take risks to support clients in their recovery. 

Today, Kathy welcomes Dr. Julianna Gorder, and they have a conversation on applications of RO DBT at higher levels of care in eating disorder treatment. Dr. Gorder talks about excessive overcontrol in relation to eating disorders and how RO DBT can help.

Meredith and Jill explore and discuss how to conceptualize clients that appear with restrictive eating disorder behavior and those who present with compulsive eating disorder behavior. These behaviors are often expressed through temperament and personality traits. What are the skills and patterns of interventions needed and knowledge base for clinicians working with these clients? Many clients have common comorbidities and are often best supported through therapies such as DBT and RO-DBT. Learn more about these important interventions and much more. 

Have your friends or loved ones suggested for you to chill out or relax? If our first podcast episode with Hope Arnold, about excessive self-control, leaves you wondering how to help with this biologically-based personality trait, then keep listening!  Join Debbie for another engaging discussion with Hope Arnold, senior clinician, and trainer in Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO DBT), for evidence-based strategies on how to work with “over-controlling” biology in the service of loosening up a bit, more fulfilling relationships, and gaining the capacity to just chill!

Are you good at doing things right, following the rules, and controlling your emotions? Maybe a little too good? Having some degree of self-control, emotional regulation, and willpower can be useful in a lot of ways! But having too much self-control has some downsides. Many people who have an Overcontrolled style of coping look like they have it all together on the outside, but in reality, they don't feel like they do, and their suffering often goes unnoticed. Focusing too much on doing everything “right” can lead to rigidity, perfectionism, and loneliness, making it hard to connect with others and enjoy life. In this episode, the first of a two-part series, Debbie talks with Hope Arnold, a therapist, and trainer who specializes in Radically Open DBT (or RO DBT), which is designed to help people who are Overcontrolled learn to loosen up and reconnect socially. In Part 1, we discuss: The difference between being overcontrolled and under controlled Characteristics associated with overcontrol Some of the common pitfalls of overcontrolled coping How overly controlled facial expressions can affect social connection. In Part 2 of the series, Debbie and Hope will discuss evidence-based clinical strategies for helping people with overcontrol to loosen up and reconnect socially!

Are you someone who’s good at getting things done, following the rules and planning ahead? These can be wonderful traits to have but you may notice that focusing on doing everything right interferes with relaxing, enjoying life and connecting with others. This is known as “emotional over-control” or “OC” and today Marielle sits down with Neill Howell, MFT, to talk about it. Neil is a psychotherapist who specializes in treating those who are emotionally over-controlled. Neil and Marielle talk about RO-DBT, or Radically-Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and how it can help you learn to loosen the reigns of self-control and connect authentically to others. RO-DBT has been around for over 20 years and there’s clinical research behind this approach that’s really gaining a lot of momentum right now. It gets into the heart of things that other treatments haven’t been reaching. If you or a loved one are emotionally over-controlled, you don’t want to miss this fascinating discussion on how RO-DBT can be not only therapeutic, but a FUN treatment, as well. Listen in! Show Highlights: Folks who are over-controlled or “OC” are very responsible  but sometimes responsibility can be too much of a good thing OC folks often compulsively strive to do more and get the next thing done but have a hard time slowing down, resting and being playful On the outside, OC folks look like they are doing everything “right” Hiding emotions and not letting people in is a big part of being over-controlled. Some people hide their emotions with a neutral facial expression and others mask their true feelings with inauthentic facial expressions, such as a fake smile. Being over-controlled has a biological component: it usually shows up at a young age with shyness and a heightened threat awareness, which leads to anxiety Over-control also has an environmental component: children learn that making mistakes is intolerable and that they should always strive to do better When you’re over-controlled, you don’t need more control, you need strategies to help address the underlying problem Emotional loneliness is a big part of being OC and many OC folks secretly worry that they are just not that likable Many OC folks live life in a rigid way which makes it hard to form genuine friendships, which require openness and flexibility Self-inquiry is the primary mindfulness practice in RO-DBT that starts with the premise that nobody knows everything and neither does anyone else, therefore, we all have something to learn The 2 rigid mindsets: fixed mind and fatalistic mind Approach coping and staying open to a better solution Emotional leakage and how to express emotion at an intensity that a person is comfortable with   Links & Resources:  www.bayareadbtcc.com www.neilhowellpsychotherapy.com http://www.radicallyopen.net/about-ro-dbt/ Ask Us a Question!

Kevin Kloosterman, MS, LMFT, joins Natasha on this episode of Mormon Mental Health. Kevin shares his experience with Radically Open-Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (RO-DBT).   RO-DBT is an evidence-based treatment developed by Dr. Tom Lynch, PhD and is informed by over 20 years of clinical and experimental research.  RO-DBT has proven to be successful in helping individuals with a wide range of challenges that have emotional over-control at their core, including persistent depression, treatment-resistant anxiety, eating disorders, and autism spectrum disorders. RO-DBT focuses on growth within three core components: openness, flexibility, and social connectedness.  The goal of RO-DBT is to help individuals develop new ways of thinking and behaving that promote openness to social and environmental feedback, feelings of social safety, and ultimately the ability to form genuine connections with others.  This is done through a series of skills training classes and individual therapy sessions that focus on self-enquiry, empathy, and warm acceptance of emotions, thoughts and behavior.

EPISODE Episode 19 TITLE The Key To Helping Someone with Rejection Sensitivity is Helping Them Develop a Sense of Security GUEST Jared DeFife Ph.D. EPISODE OVERVIEW Dr. DeFife works with people who are emotionally intense, tend to be perfectionistic and sensitive to criticism. He talks about Rejection Sensitivity, which has 3 primary components. Dr. DeFife talks about the 3 Cs to help if you experience Rejection Sensitivity.  We talk about 2 types of perfectionism, muscle dysmorphia and the benefits of self-disclosure and authenticity by therapists in the therapeutic relationship. HIGHLIGHTS Rejection Sensitivity Anxious anticipation of [rejection] Ready perception of [seeing rejection in neutral situations when it may not be there] Intense reaction to [criticism, failure, set backs, exclusion, lack of belonging] Rejection Sensitivity is highly correlated with aggression and hostililty—this can look like behavior that is snide or snippy. The person engages in hostile and rejecting behavior, then creates the rejection due to their behavior. The person ends up creating what they are most afraid of. They get into this vicious cycle. Rejection Sensitivity can also include reactions where the person engages in social avoidance or shutting down. Rejection Sensitivity is a process that people engage in to avoid feeling shame. In Anxious Anticipation Of—the person imagines that they probably won’t be accepted or liked before the interaction. They may imagine that the other person will think they’re stupid. Perfectionism isn’t really about wanting things to be perfect At the root, it’s that other people will see that we’re defective and inadequate Perfectionism can be a survival skill for some, and if you take it away, you’re taking away the way they believe they can fit in. There are different types of perfectionism Self-oriented perfectionism—competing against yourself (like an athlete would). This can be a healthy form of perfectionism. Socially prescribed perfectionism—If I don’t get this right, people will think I’m an idiot, or I’ll be rejected.     Rejection Sensitivity is transdiagnostic—you will see it across many different diagnoses like depressive disorders, anxiety disorders, personality disorders, eating disorders and substance use disorders. Muscle dysmorphia—"is a subtype ofbody dysmorphic disorder (BDD), in which people, mostly males, are obsessed with the size of their muscles.  They worry that they are not muscular or lean enough or that their bodies are too underdeveloped and weak.  Their symptoms cause significant distress and hinder their ability to socialize, go to work, and/or participate in daily activities.  In many cases, people with muscle dysmorphia have average or above average muscularity.”  Quoted from https://mghocd.org/what-is-muscle-dysmorphia/ The Key to helping someone with Rejection Sensitivity is to help them develop a sense of security. The way to do this is with the 2 Cs Calmness—to calm down that fueled intense reactivity Clarity—learning what your wants and needs are, and knowing your life story so you are clear about your own desires, motivations and interests Connections—having safe relationships with others where you can be vulnerable, and open with others and you don’t have to keep your feelings to yourself Being a psychologically health person isn’t about being a perfect person. Of course it’s  about being vulnerable RESOURCES— Don’t Take It Personally!

Would you engage yourself differently if you assumed that all the emotions you experienced had something to teach you? Today, Opal: Food+Body Wisdom's Lexi Giblin, PhD, CEDS, and Carter Umhau, MA, LMHCA explore the process of “self-inquiry”--a key tool in Radically Open DBT. Self-inquiry is all about seeking growth rather than trying to fix one's shortcomings. In this episode, Lexi will lean into the strength of her own vulnerability in order to model the process of self-inquiry in action!

Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy has been a big topic on The Appetite...but today RO DBT creator Dr. Thomas Lynch and his wife and colleague Erica Smith Lynch join us for a conversation around its application within eating disorders. Radically Open Dialectical Behavioral Therapy--the newest evidence-based treatment targeting disorders of overcontrol (including anorexia, chronic depression, OCD, and autism)--encourages open expression as a way to combat emotional loneliness in those that are typically more emotionally inhibited. In this conversation, Opal Co-Founder Lexi Giblin, PhD, CEDS and Appetite Host Carter Umhau, LMHCA ask about the roots of the modality, how RO DBT thinks about the topic of food in eating disorder treatment, and how understanding your temperament can increase the health of your relationships.
