This can lead you to assume someone is lying, cheating, rejecting, or abandoning you—and react in ways that harm your relationships or well-being. This video explains three ways to manage emotional reasoning: remember that feelings are not always facts, slow down before reacting, and challenge your thoughts by looking for evidence. Practicing these skills during calmer moments makes them easier to use when emotions become overwhelming. This approach also aligns with the channel’s recognition-first, viewer-protective framework. 🎓 ONLINE COURSE Learn evidence-based skills for understanding and managing borderline personality disorder: https://www.bpdcourse.com 📚 BOOKS & CLINICAL TOOLS BY DR.
