“…Furthermore, programming to enhance strategies for emotional regulation can be an important treatment for people who are victims/survivors of physical IPV. Interventions that address emotional regulation among targets of IPV have already been implemented, supporting continued research and programming in understanding these pathways to improve practices aimed at positive emotional regulation and overall psychological well-being (Casas et al, 2021;Hesser et al, 2017;Nesset et al, 2021).…”

The purpose of this study was to assess the relationship between physical intimate partner violence (IPV) victimization and four related aspects of emotional well-being: threat sensitivity, intolerance of uncertainty, impulse control, and access to resources for emotional regulation. We draw on a transactional model of IPV and emotional regulation to theorize how invalidation and partner threats in relationships can generate harmful emotional outcomes. We used representative data collected for residents living in five U.S. states: Colorado, Minnesota, Mississippi, New Jersey, and Texas. Our analytic sample included individuals who reported having been in a romantic relationship in the past year ( N = 2,501). Data were collected using a probability-based web panel, between April 29 and May 15, 2022. Following the presentation of descriptive statistics and bivariate correlations, we developed a series of four multivariate models (ordinary least squares [OLS], negative binomial) to analyze the association between IPV victimization and each emotional outcome. All models adjusted for pertinent demographic and geographic control measures. Physical IPV victimization was associated with increased intolerance of uncertainty and heightened threat sensitivity. IPV victimization also corresponded with poorer impulse control and fewer resources for emotional regulation. Overall, our results demonstrate that experiences of physical IPV victimization are linked to poorer emotional outcomes. These outcomes can be harmful to broader mental health and potentially impact long-term well-being. The findings underscore the importance of mental health screenings that extend beyond assessments of diagnostic-level functions and allocating resources toward alleviating other clinically relevant factors that might arise from or even prompt additional exposure to physical IPV.

“…An available treatment approach that has been successfully used for treating affective dysregulation is Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT). Although DBT augmented with traditional CBT has proven successful for TTM with ER problems (Casas et al, 2021), there are limited examinations of a DBT-enhanced HRT approach, first developed by Keuthen and colleagues in 2010. The treatment protocol of DBT-enhanced HRT combines both HRT and DBT to address TTM, emotional dysregulation and distress tolerance.…”

Research has recognised the psychosocial impairments linked to Trichotillomania (TTM) and established a relationship between problematic hair-pulling and affective regulation. Significant relationships between pulling triggers, their severity, and emotional dysregulation have also been predicted. The current case focused on the efficacy of combined DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy) and HRT (Habit Reversal Training) in a client with TTM and Impulsive Personality features. The client received 11 weekly sessions of DBT-enhanced HRT, which took 3 months to complete. Following the end of this acute treatment phase, four maintenance sessions (two sessions per month) were delivered. The maintenance of treatment benefits was assessed using self-report measures and therapist observations at four time points: at pre-treatment, after the acute treatment phase (at the end of 3 months), and then at a 3-month and a 6-month follow-up. The intervention results suggested a substantial reduction in hair-pulling, hair regrowth in affected parts of the scalp, and self-reported improvements in mood. The study also shows preliminary evidence of DBT-enhanced HRT’s efficacy in a client with TTM and Impulsive Personality features, suggesting the importance of addressing personality structures and distressing emotional regulation that cause functional impairment during TTM treatment.
