On the last point, I think the difference is that they call it "distress avoidance" when you do these things instead of experiencing the emotion, and "distress improving" when you do it after experiencing the emotion. It gets a little confusing when one asks "for how long, then?"; the answer is probably "for as long as it takes to convince yourself you can".
