This is where I will be sharing helpful tips on coping mechanisms, calming strategies, and other skills to keep you living your best life!
Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills: How to Say “No” Without the Guilt Spiral
In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Interpersonal Effectiveness skills are about balancing three important things at the same time: getting what you want or need, maintaining your relationships, and honoring your self-respect. One of the hardest—and most powerful—skills in this area is learning how to say no without spiraling into guilt, anxiety, or over-explaining.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD): Moving Past Myths and Toward Understanding
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) is one of the most misunderstood mental health diagnoses. Unfortunately, myths and stereotypes often shape how people with BPD are seen and treated. These misunderstandings can lead to shame, isolation, and missed opportunities for support.
Using Wise Mind to Navigate Tough Decisions
Wise Mind helps you make choices that honor both your feelings and your ability to think things through.
Using Radical Acceptance in Everyday Life
Life doesn’t always go the way you expect. Plans change, people disappoint you, and situations feel unfair or frustrating. When you find yourself stuck fighting reality, the DBT skill of Radical Acceptance can help you get unstuck.
Mental Wellness is a Skill Set that Everyone can Develop!
Just like physical health, mental wellness is an important part of living a balanced, healthy life. It shapes how we think, feel, handle stress, connect with others, and show up each day.
Using Mindfulness in Daily Life
DBT mindfulness isn’t about emptying your mind or becoming Zen 24/7.
It’s about learning how to be right here, in this moment, without judgment, even if the moment is messy, loud, or filled with three different notifications.
