Encore Episode: Wise Mind

Erin is on vacation this week, so we are re-releasing one of our more popular episodes, Wise Mind! Wise Mind is a mindfulness skill in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) that helps us differentiate between our emotional mind and our rational mind. We need both in our lives! Our emotional mind helps us process emotions: we get passionate about causes, we fall in love, we snuggle with our pets. Our rational mind helps us process facts, think through problems, and solve problems. Both on their own can be problematic. When we are in challenging situations, we might tend to live in one mind or the other. Wise Mind, however, helps us integrate both our emotions and our rational thoughts to respond to challenging situations.   Our 10-week DBT skills group starting 10/13 is full! But don't worry - we have another group starting in January, 2022. Please reach out to Erin if you are interested in joining that group.   Rate us and leave us a review! For any questions, comments, or feedback, email Erin at Erin@taproottherapynyc.com. You can also follow us Instagram (@taproottherapynyc) or Facbook (@TaprootN).
