DBT Skills

 

Be mindful…do you know whether you have an urge with this emotion?

 

Experience it as a wave that comes and goes, remembering that you are not your thoughts and not your emotions.

 

Notice ………  your emotional myths and challenge them with realistic perspectives that align with the facts.
