Clients who cannot tolerate or down-regulate a painful emotion will often manage their feelings through behaviours such as drug or alcohol use, binge eating, anorexia, self-harm or suicide attempts. In recent years there has been research into how these dysfunctional coping strategies can be reduced by coaching alternative functional behaviour.

Three senior clinicians from the NHS share techniques and experiences that help clients who have difficulty regulating their emotional responses.
