☀️Take the quiz! ☀️Have you ever wondered, “Am I too rigid? Too perfectionistic? Am I pushing others away… or just lonely?”

This quiz is for you.

Our “Are You Over-Controlled?” quiz offers gentle, research-informed insight into these patterns through an RO-DBT lens.
 RO-DBT was created to help people with overcontrolled coping patterns build connection, flexibility, and enjoy their lives while being even more effective in achieving their valued goals.

The perfectionism, the rules, the carefulness — they once protected you. But now they might be keeping you lonely.

RO-DBT helps people who feel too controlled learn how to soften, open up, and let connection back in.
