🌿 DBT Skill Spotlight – Week 5

Reducing Vulnerability to Emotions (The ABC Skill) ✨
When we’re emotionally run down — tired, depleted, or overwhelmed — even small stressors can feel like too much. 🧠
Reducing vulnerability means strengthening your foundation so you’re less likely to be swept away by intense emotions. 🦋

DBT calls this the ABC Skill 🌱

A — Accumulate Positive Emotions 💬

✨ Invite joy and meaning into your daily life✨
Short Term: Do pleasant things that are possible now — listen to music, spend time outdoors, connect with a friend, or savor a nourishing meal.
Long Term: Make changes in your life so that positive events happen more often in the future. Focus on creating a life worth living — one aligned with your values, passions, and relationships that uplift you.

B — Build Mastery ☀️

Cultivate confidence and capability 💪
Do things that make you feel competent and effective — even small wins count. When we practice mastery, we build the belief that we can handle challenges, which helps combat feelings of helplessness and hopelessness.
Try setting small, achievable goals each day and acknowledge your progress, no matter how small.

C — Cope Ahead of Time with Emotional Situations

Prepare before the storm hits🌤️
Rehearse a plan ahead of time so that you’re prepared to cope skillfully when emotional situations arise.
Visualize yourself handling a difficult moment with calm and confidence. Identify which coping strategies you’ll use 🤞

Each of us is made up of many intersecting parts — our culture, gender, race, sexuality, abilities, and life experiences. Together, these layers shape how we move through the world and how the world responds to us. 🌿

At Harmony Harbor, we honor all of your identities — because healing isn’t one-size-fits-all. It’s about seeing and supporting the whole person.

When we understand intersectionality, we create room for compassion, nuance, and authentic connection. We begin to see that every story is complex, every voice matters, and every part of you belongs here. 💛

🌿 DBT Skill Spotlight – Week 4: Opposite Action

Emotions are powerful messengers — but sometimes, they can lead us to act in ways that don’t serve our long-term goals or align with our values.

The DBT skill Opposite Action helps us shift our behaviors when emotions don’t fit the facts or when acting on them would make things worse.

Use Opposite Action when your emotions do NOT fit the facts or when acting on your emotions is NOT effective.

💫 Step-by-step

1️⃣Identify and name the emotion.

2️⃣Check the facts. — Does this emotion fit the situation?

3️⃣Identify and describe your action urges. — What do you want to do right now because of this emotion?

4️⃣Ask Wise Mind: Is expressing or acting on this emotion effective in this situation?

If your emotion does not fit the facts or if acting on your emotion is not effective:

5️⃣ Identify opposite actions. — What would someone do who is calm, effective, and aligned with your values?

6️⃣ Act opposite — ALL THE WAY. — Don’t half-try; fully commit to the opposite behavior.

7️⃣ Repeat acting opposite. — Keep practicing until the emotion shifts.

In honor of world kindness week... 🦋

✨ “Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.” – Dalai Lama ✨

Here's our Harmony Harbor reminder to always believe kindness is the foundation for healing — toward others and, most importantly, toward yourself 💙

Pause. Breathe. Choose kindness — every time. 🌿

Today — and every day — kindness has the power to heal 🫂

Kindness is more than a simple act; it’s a way of being present with ourselves and others. It’s listening without judgment, offering grace when it’s needed most, and remembering that everyone is carrying something unseen.

At Harmony Harbor, we believe that gentle compassion creates ripples of healing — within our communities and within ourselves.

Let’s choose softness over criticism.

Connection over comparison.

Kindness over everything 🌿

🌿DBT Skills Spotlight: Check the Facts

When emotions feel bigger than the moment… it might be time to Check the Facts 💭✨

Our emotions are powerful messengers — but sometimes, they’re responding to thoughts, assumptions, or interpretations that might not match reality.

Examining our thoughts and checking the facts can help us change our emotions.

🕊️ This practice helps you respond from wisdom, not reactivity — finding balance between emotion and reason.

Remember: checking the facts isn’t about invalidating your feelings — it’s about grounding them in truth, so you can move forward with clarity and calm. 🌸

The bee breath stimulates the parasympathetic nervous system or "rest & digest," as it is frequently called. 🐝

Humming is especially helpful in calming the mind and through vibration it activates the vagus nerve which helps provide oxygen and blood to through the body.

Do this for a just a few breaths and share your experience! ✨

Mental health is health 🌿

There’s no shame in tending to your emotional well-being — it deserves the same care, compassion, and attention as your physical health.

When we release stigma and embrace empathy, we create space for healing to unfold naturally. Your feelings, your story, and your growth are all valid. 🩵

At Harmony Harbor, we’re here to remind you: seeking help is an act of courage, not weakness. Honor your journey with gentleness — you are not alone.
