When we become aware of what we are doing, how we are doing it, and why we are reacting to the world the way we do, we then have the opportunity to change our behavior.
At the root of any major life transition like grief, divorce, or tragedy, questioning who and what we are, become integral in finding a new purpose.
Straight up. It's effective. Our thoughts are not who we are, and they can be changed.
An important component to healing is knowing how we bonded with our parents and caregivers and the dynamics that took place.
DBT offers some of the best coping skills that illicit true change.
