Ever notice how your thoughts lead to certain feelings, and those feelings drive your actions? That’s a behavior chain! In DBT, we map these patterns to better understand and change our reactions. It’s all about breaking the chain and choosing healthier responses. Let’s dive in together and start shifting your mindset! 🧠💬

The holiday season can bring joy, stress, or a mix of both — and that’s okay.

This season, may you give yourself permission to feel what you feel, practice the skills that support you, and take things one moment at a time.

Here’s to navigating the holidays with awareness, presence, and a little extra kindness towards yourself 🩵💙

If setting a boundary makes you feel “mean,” this post is for you!

These holiday boundary scripts are based on DBT’s FAST skill—so you can stay fair, self-respecting, and aligned without over-explaining or people-pleasing.

FAST reminds us:
✨ Be Fair
✨ No Apologies for having needs
✨ Stick to your values
✨ Be Truthful

Save this for awkward questions, guilt trips, and moments when your nervous system says no but your mouth wants to say fine.

The holidays can activate big emotions: sadness, stress, loneliness, joy, or all of the above.

In DBT, we call this increased emotional vulnerability — and it’s normal! Learning how to name it, validate it, and skillfully navigate it can transform your holiday experience.

As we head into Thanksgiving, many clients are navigating family dynamics and holiday expectations. DBT reminds us that boundaries are not barriers—they’re acts of mindful self-respect. You can be skillful, compassionate, and effective all at once. 🍂🧡

Imagine a world where emotion regulation was taught from childhood—where we learned from a young age to understand their feelings, pause before reacting, and respond thoughtfully.

As we transition to adulthood, the ripple effects would touch everything:
kinder politics, smarter policies, less crime, healthier relationships, and a society built on empathy and awareness.

When emotional skills are taught early, everyone benefits. 🌍💡
