________Terms from this episode:Schizotypal Personality Disorder: This is a mental health condition where a person might feel very different from others. They may have unusual thoughts, beliefs, or behaviors, and they might struggle with forming close relationships. People with this disorder often feel uncomfortable in social situations and can seem odd or eccentric to others.Emotion Regulation Skills (in Dialectical Behavior Therapy): These are tools that help people manage their feelings better. In dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), emotion regulation skills teach people how to understand their emotions, calm down when they’re upset, and handle difficult situations without getting overwhelmed. It’s about learning to control how you feel and react to things.
