Effects on awareness
In the DERS, awareness assesses the extent to which individuals are able to monitor one’s emotions. Half of the participants (51%, 57/112) reported an improvement in their ability to listen to their feelings, to better perceive and identify their emotions (verbatim 2). Furthermore, the majority of the participants (66%, 74/112) described a better ability to analyse sensations, thoughts, issues and self-limiting behaviours (verbatim 3).
