Setting limits and expectations is often hard; doing so with a loved one who struggles with emotion dysregulation, self-injury, and suicidal thinking and behaviour is even harder. There are a number of reasons why it may be more difficult. The most common one for family members is that fear gets in the way. Other things like not understanding the function of the behaviour or why it persists are other common barriers. In this presentation we discuss the principles of behaviour and what keeps problematic behaviours continuing. We will also discuss contingency management and how you can skillfully identify limits and communicate them with your loved ones in an effective way.
