In this article, we wish to describe the expectations and responsibilities to help give you a sense of what you can expect and what will be expected of you. Please make sure to read this and ask your therapist any questions you may have.

In this article, you will read the overarching idea behind ERT. Specifically, it will discuss how we often fall into patterns of reactively or automatically responding to emotions in certain ways. The goal of ERT is to break those patterns of responding and replace them with more intentional responses.

Catch Yourself Reacting exercises are a place for you to self-monitor your progress in identifying external and internal triggers, noticing emotions, increasing your awareness of reactive responses, and their consequences, as well as tracking the use of the ERT skill you learn.
