🌡️ Understanding Your Emotional Temperature 🌡️
Emotions aren’t just feelings—they’re your mind’s way of telling you what matters most. Sometimes, emotions feel like a warm glow; other times, they can boil over like a hot stove.
In DBT, we recognize that:
✨ Emotions are important signals, not enemies.
✨ Your emotional temperature shows how intense your feelings are.
✨ Paying attention to this “temperature” helps you respond with skill, not react with overwhelm.
When your emotions run hot:
· Take a moment to pause and notice what you’re feeling.
· Use skills like TIP (Temperature, Intense exercise, Paced breathing) to cool down safely.
· Remember, feeling deeply means you’re human and connected to what matters.

🧘‍♀️✨ What Is Mindfulness in DBT? ✨🧘‍♂️
(It’s not just about meditation.)
In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness is the foundation for all other skills. It means learning to:
👁️ Notice what’s happening in the moment—inside you and around you
🧠 Name your thoughts, feelings, and urges without judgment
💬 Respond, instead of reacting on autopilot
🌿 In DBT, mindfulness isn’t about "clearing your mind"—it’s about becoming aware of your mind so you can make wise, intentional choices.
DBT teaches two sets of mindfulness skills:
1️⃣ “What” Skills – What you do to be mindful
▪️ Observe
▪️ Describe
▪️ Participate
2️⃣ “How” Skills – How you practice mindfulness
▪️ Non-judgmentally
▪️ One-mindfully
▪️ Effectively
📍 Why it matters: For teens especially, mindfulness helps slow down emotional reactivity, build self-awareness, and increase control over behavior.
🧭 Mindfulness gives us a pause button—and in that pause, there's power.
