For Psychologists
Clinical perspectives on how each value presents in therapeutic settings.
Filter by value
Courage
Somatic Experiencing
Addresses the underlying nervous system dysregulation that drives compulsive action. Teaching the client to track arousal and tolerate activation without immediately converting it to action provides a fundamentally new experience of their own physiology.
Courage
Psychodynamic Therapy
The long-term relational frame requires the courage of showing up consistently rather than episodically. Exploring the developmental roots of their counter-phobic stance can reveal the fear underneath the bravery.
Courage
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Distress tolerance skills are particularly relevant for clients who act to escape distress. The dialectical framework validates their capacity for bold action while building the complementary skill of toleration.
