Affect Regulation Training

Abstract

The therapist plays an important role in teaching the Affect Regulation Training (ART) skills. The manner in which the therapist conducts the training sessions and interacts with the participants will, in large part, determine the participants’ ability to engage in the learning process. One of the important ways to engage the participants is to ensure that the participants’ approach system is activated. This can be done by ensuring that the participants have need-fulfilling experiences. Another way to facilitate participant engagement in the training is to help participants develop and pursue personally relevant goals. Finally, there are psychological theories, techniques, and resources that will help therapists better engage participants in the training process.
