Some of the key takeaways from the passage include that emotion dysregulation can lead to chaotic relationships, struggles with identity and self-harming behaviors. Biosocial theory discusses emotion sensitivity and invalidating environments, while the transactional model looks at emotion regulation and validating vs invalidating relationships.

The passage mentions that individual emotion vulnerability combined with invalidation, severe distress/emotion crises, lack of emotion management skills and invalidating relationships can all contribute to pervasive emotion dysregulation.

The passage discusses using acceptance and tolerance with self-soothing skills to address emotion vulnerability, DBT skills training to build management skills, and relationship/communication skills to address invalidating relationships.

Biosocial Theory and

Transactional Model of
Emotion Dysregulation

When another person makes you


suffer, it is because he suffers
deeply within himself, and his
suffering is spilling over. He does
not need punishment; he needs
help. That's the message he is
sending.
