The DBT Center for Trauma and Healing

You don’t have to face it alone—healing begins the moment you reach out. 💙

At the DBT Center for Trauma and Healing, we offer compassionate support to help you navigate life’s challenges, heal from pain, and rediscover peace and strength.

This week at The DBT Center for Trauma and Healing-The funeral of broken dreams is about honoring an unfulfilled childhood hope — the life, role, or version of ourselves we once imagined. Maybe you wanted to be something specific. Maybe you hoped for a different family, a safer childhood, or a future that felt certain. Letting go of that dream can bring sadness, anger, and even shame — and all of those feelings make sense.

In DBT, we learn that pain doesn’t need to be avoided or rushed away. Skills like radical acceptance help us gently acknowledge what is, while emotion regulation and mindfulness teach us how to sit with grief without letting it define us. You don’t have to erase the dream to move forward — you can honor it, thank it, and make space for something new to grow.

Healing doesn’t mean giving up hope. Sometimes it means choosing a different kind of hope. 🌱

✨Affirmations ✨

Affirmations are short, intentional statements we repeat to ourselves to shape how we think and feel. When we use “I am” affirmations, we practice speaking to ourselves with kindness, strength, and self-belief. 💛

Over time, affirmations can help challenge negative self-talk, build emotional resilience, and shift our outlook toward hope and self-compassion. Even when they don’t feel true yet, repeating them plants the seeds for healing.

Try one today: “I am worthy of care and understanding.” 🌱

✨ DBT Skill Spotlight: FAST ✨

At the DBT Center for Trauma & Healing, we love skills that support both healthy relationships and self-respect. One of our favorites for this? FAST 💪

FAST helps you stay true to yourself when setting boundaries or advocating for your needs:

🌱 F – Fair: Be fair to yourself and the other person. Your needs matter too.

💛 A – (No) Apologies: Don’t over-apologize for having feelings, needs, or limits. You can be kind without saying sorry for existing.

🧭 S – Stick to your values: Let your choices reflect what truly matters to you, even when it’s uncomfortable.

🤍 T – Truthful: Be honest and genuine. Avoid exaggerating, minimizing, or people-pleasing.

How to use FAST:
When you’re in a tough conversation or setting a boundary, pause and run through FAST in your mind. Ask yourself: Am I being fair? Staying true to my values? Speaking honestly? This skill helps protect your self-respect while still showing care and compassion.

Healing includes learning to stand up for yourself — gently, clearly, and authentically. You’re allowed to take up space 🌿

Some things are in our control—our actions, choices, and how we respond. Others aren’t—and that’s okay. 💙 DBT reminds us to focus our energy where it truly helps and practice acceptance where it doesn’t.
