🌿 DBT Skill Spotlight: Observe
One of the core DBT mindfulness practices is learning to notice your thoughts, feelings, and surroundings—without judgment.
Here are a few simple ways to practice observing today:
1️⃣ Sit still and focus on your breath for one minute
2️⃣ Gently label what you notice (“a thought,” “a sound”)
3️⃣ Avoid trying to change anything—just notice
4️⃣ Use sensory observation in a quiet space
Sometimes, the first step to calming the mind is simply observing.

The Story of THIRA

In 1991, Dr. Moore founded The Moore Center (now Eating Recovery Center of Washington), the longest-established treatment center specializing in eating disorder treatment in the Pacific Northwest. In her many years of clinical experience she has worked with patients dealing with a wide variety of mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and substance abuse, among others. These accomplishments are what has lead her to open THIRA Health. THIRA Health’s mission is to help adolescents and women work through traumatic life experiences and learn new coping skills. Soon after opening our doors Dr. Moore brought on Dr. Kathryn Korslund, as our Clinical Director. Having worked under Dr. Marsha Linehan during the development of DBT, Dr. Korslund has brought that expertise to THIRA, and has been a vital force in tailoring THIRA’s IOP and PHP programs following Dr. Linehan’s DBT guidelines. DBT has been proven to be an effective treatment for a wide variety of mental illnesses including but not limited to borderline personality disorder, depression, anxiety, and eating disorders.
