Dialectical behaviour thinking (DBT) skills eliminate unhelpful judgements by building awareness of our own and others personal judgments. DBT skills help re-balance and change strong, unwanted emotions.
DBT skills help by adjusting and regulating strong emotions like fear, sadness, anger, love, shame - when they are extreme and adversly affect our life now and in the future.
Instead of feeling the misery of what life should or shouldn’t be, DBT helps the wiser mind understand and better balance reality. Unhelpful emotions can convince us our beliefs and judgments are somehow greater or less than reality.
DBT skills help recovery from suicidal ideation and bipolar disorders.
