#37: Level Up Your Skill Use The Skillful Podcast
-
- Salud mental
This episode is in response to a listener question about combining DBT skill use for difficult situations. We thought it was a great question to tackle in an episode.
As your knowledge of DBT skills increases, you will likely find that using several different skills is often the most effective way to respond to challenging life situations. Another way of thinking about this is layering skills - using skills to reduce distress first and then using skills to solve problems or change situations. Marielle and Ed discuss the following scenarios where layered skill use can be helpful:
You’re in an intense conflict with someone important to you.
You’ve experienced loss and sadness is overtaking you.
You have a strong desire to avoid doing something that needs to get done.
DBT Skills Discussed STOP
TIP
Distraction
Radical Acceptance
Check the Facts
Opposite Action
