DBT Skills: Wise Mind
In this episode, Laurie and her guests Dave, Shanthi and Megan discuss the concept of wise mind in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). They share personal experiences and insights on how wise mind combines emotional and rational thinking, and how it can help individuals make better decisions. The guests also talk about the importance of acknowledging wins and using pros and cons lists to practice wise mind. They highlight the value of intuition and the need to find a balance between emotion mind and reasonable mind.
The discussion in this episode is guided by the book DBT for Life by Diana Partington
