Article Synopsis
- Insufficient regulation of emotions and impulses is common in patients with complex mental disorders due to childhood trauma, leading to a focus on stabilization and arousal control in trauma therapy.
- Group therapy has been used in inpatient settings to help improve emotion regulation, but such "stabilization groups" are rare in outpatient facilities.
- A new outpatient treatment protocol has been introduced to enhance self-regulation skills through structured affect regulation strategies, combining body-oriented techniques, hypnotherapy, and guided imagery, along with psychoeducation based on neurobiological findings.
