At the DBT Center for Trauma & Healing, we’re talking about two powerful skills that can reshape your healing journey: self-compassion and gratitude this week.
💛 Self-compassion means treating yourself with the same understanding you’d offer a friend—especially when you’re struggling.
✨ Gratitude helps shift your focus toward what is going well, grounding you in moments of peace, safety, and connection.
But for many people, these skills don’t come naturally—especially if they grew up in invalidating environments.
These are spaces where feelings were dismissed (“you’re overreacting”), minimized (“you’re fine, stop crying”), or ignored altogether. Over time, this can make it hard to trust your own emotions or needs.
The good news? These skills can be learned.
Our DBT Skills Training Classes help you build emotional resilience, strengthen self-understanding, and practice tools that support real, lasting change.
