HAPPY BPD MONTH: DBT Wise Mind
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Happy BPD month ya'll! Each week I'm reviewing a DBT skill as a bonus episode and this week it's DBT Wise Mind. In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), “wise mind” is the state where your emotional understanding and logical thinking work together.
DBT describes three “states of mind”:
- Emotion mind: driven mainly by feelings, urges, or moods
Example: “I’m furious, so I’m quitting immediately.” - Reasonable mind: driven mainly by logic, facts, and analysis
Example: “Statistically, staying is safer financially.” - Wise mind: the balanced middle ground that includes both emotion and reason
Example: “I’m genuinely unhappy here, but I don’t need to make a decision tonight. I can plan a thoughtful next step.”
Let's get into it!
