This episode explores the Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skill, Opposite Action to Emotion. This skill teaches us to actively behave in opposition to our unwanted emotions. For example, if you are feeling sad and want to stay on your couch all day, get up and move around. This can be a challenging skill to implement, and like all skills, it takes practice. You can also read about this skill, and many other DBT skills, on our DBT skills blog on our website: www.taproottherapynyc.com. If you have any questions, email me at erin@taproottherapynyc.com.
