Its primary purpose is to support individuals who are either undergoing DBT therapy or looking to integrate DBT practices into their daily lives. The Coach is structured to respond empathetically, helping users manage their emotional, cognitive, and behavioral challenges.

For example, if a user is feeling overwhelmed by intense emotions, the TheraHive DBT Coach might suggest a mindfulness technique like 'Observe and Describe' or the 'STOP' skill.

Main Functions of TheraHive DBT Coach

  • Identifying and suggesting appropriate DBT skills

    Example Example

    When a user mentions experiencing overwhelming anger or sadness, the Coach might suggest emotion regulation techniques, such as opposite action or distraction methods.

    Example Scenario

    A user comes to the Coach feeling distressed after an argument. The Coach assesses the situation and recommends applying the 'Opposite Action' skill to reduce anger by engaging in positive or calming activities. The user is then guided through the steps to implement the skill in real time.

  • Providing step-by-step skill guidance

    Example Example

    The Coach explains the process of applying the 'TIP' skill, which helps manage intense emotional states by altering body temperature and engaging in specific breathing exercises.

    Example Scenario

    A user is on the verge of a panic attack. The Coach suggests the TIP skill (Temperature, Intense Exercise, Paced Breathing) and walks the user through each component, starting with using cold water to calm the body and then moving to guided breathing techniques.

  • Checking skill effectiveness and offering follow-up support

    Example Example

    After the user tries a mindfulness skill, the Coach checks in to assess how it went, offering feedback and alternative suggestions if needed.

    Example Scenario

    After the user completes a distress tolerance exercise, the Coach asks how effective the skill was in reducing distress. If the user reports minimal improvement, the Coach suggests either repeating the skill or trying another option, such as 'Radical Acceptance.'
