Specialized Mental Health Treatment for Overcontrol
The capacity for self-control propelled humans to reach beyond our immediate desires to achieve great personal goals and build collaborative societies. Can you have too much of a good thing? When self-control becomes excessive, people often struggle to authentically connect to others, effectively relax and recover, and cultivate openness to new information and ways of behaving that might make them happier in the long run. Because self-control is viewed positively in society, the personal cost of overcontrol is often unrecognized and misunderstood. Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT) is an evidence-based treatment developed for the distinct purpose of relaxing overcontrol, opening greater access to experiences of life meaning and belonging.
