✨ DBT Skills Spotlight: GIVE ✨
GIVE is about maintaining positive relationships and acting in ways that help others feel respected, valued and safe with you. It invites us to move through relationships with care and showing up in ways that support connection, safety, and mutual respect 🤍
It asks us to consider not only what we want in the moment, but how our words and presence shape the relationship over time, especially the relationships that matter most ✨
G — Gentle
I — Interested
V — Validate
E — Easy manner
Gentle reflections to ask yourself: 💭
• How do I want the other person to feel after this interaction, regardless of the outcome? 💞
• What helps this relationship feel safe, steady, and worth continuing? 🌱
