Our mission at LI DBT Group is to provide evidence-based treatment to help our clients and their families find a way out of their suffering and build a life worth living. We treat borderline personality disorder, post-traumatic stress disorder, complex trauma, depression, anxiety, obsessive compulsive disorder, substance abuse and eating disorders in children, adolescents and adults. We primarily use DBT, a specialized form of cognitive behavioral therapy, and mindfulness practices to assist individuals who have difficulty managing intense emotions and the resulting impulsive behaviors.

Feeling overwhelmed? Your nervous system might be asking for a reset, and DBT’s Self-Soothing with the Senses skill is one of the quickest ways to get there. 💡

When emotions are high, your body responds to comfort, not criticism. That’s where a Distress Tolerance Kit comes in. 🧰

Think of it as a tiny toolbox filled with things that smell good, feel calming, sound soothing, taste grounding, or look comforting. For example:
-Soft textures
-A favorite scent
-Calm music
-Tea or chocolate
-Photos that spark warmth
These little sensory moments communicate safety to your brain and help bring you out of crisis mode. It’s not about “fixing” the emotion, it’s about soothing the system so you can get through the moment without making things worse.
If you’ve been feeling stretched thin lately, this skill is such a gentle place to start. 🧊🕯️🎧
