🌿 Emotions aren’t “good” or “bad” — they all serve a purpose. In DBT Skills group this week, we explored the 6 basic emotions and the Window of Tolerance, a tool for understanding how emotions affect our body and mind.

Wise Mind 🌿

In DBT, we talk about three “minds”:

🧠 Reasonable Mind – logical, fact-based thinking
❤️ Emotion Mind – feelings, impulses, urges
✨ Wise Mind – the balance between the two

Wise Mind helps you pause, reflect, and respond in ways that honor both logic and emotion. It’s that calm inner voice that says: “I know what’s true, and I know what matters.”

🎥 Learn more: https://youtu.be/oyTPJA5CTts?si=JAzPTqVQU3T5oC6S

💡 Try this: Next time you feel torn between your head and your heart, pause and ask, “What would my Wise Mind say right now?”

At Moore Life Counseling, we just kicked off our new DBT Skills Training Group, and let me tell you—it’s powerful stuff. 💪

DBT stands for Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and it’s all about learning practical skills to manage emotions, reduce stress, and build a life that actually feels worth living.

Clients often say:
👉 “Why didn’t I learn this sooner?!”
💬 “It’s so good to be in a group and realize I’m not alone struggle.

In our orientation session, we explored DBT assumptions like:
✨ People are doing the best they can.
✨ People want to improve.
✨ Even if you didn’t cause all your problems, you can learn how to solve them.

Members also shared about how invalidating environments shaped their experiences—and how freeing it feels to bring those truths into the here and now with support and compassion.

Next up: Mindfulness Skills 🧘
Can’t wait to keep building together!

🤔 What the Heck is DBT?
If you’ve ever felt lost in a sea of therapy acronyms — CBT, EMDR, IOP, OMG — you’re not alone. When I first heard about DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy), I thought, “Okay… what does THIS one mean?” Spoiler: It’s not a texting shorthand, but it IS life-changing.

I first discovered DBT years ago while working at the Des Moines VA hospital. I was instantly hooked by the practical skills for managing life in ways that align with personal values. My clients say the same thing: “Why couldn’t I have learned this sooner?!”

In DBT Skills Training, we cover:
🧘 Mindfulness
🛟 Distress Tolerance
💡 Emotion Regulation
🤝 Interpersonal Effectiveness

These skills don’t just change your day—they can change your life. I’ve had group members share that they now teach DBT skills to their kids and see a real difference at home. 💛

📅 Next Module Starts: Wed, Aug 20
🕓 4–6 PM
📍 Moore Life Counseling – West Des Moines, IA

✅ Space is limited — message us or call [phone number] to save your spot!
