“Relatively recent practices like dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) are particularly successful with emotion regulation. Similarly, cognitive reframing and distraction techniques help manage stress, as does thought-stopping (in its simplest form, snap a rubber band on your wrist to divert yourself from ruminations or cravings. It works, even if you do get a bit bruised in the process).”
