DBT skills — pick one for right now
DBT gives you a toolbox for hard moments. The right tool depends on what you need — cooling down a wave, getting through an hour, sitting with a feeling, or speaking up. Pick one, try it for a few minutes, then check what shifted.
Why this helps
DBT skills work because they give your nervous system a different input than what the emotion is asking for. Pick the one that matches what's happening — wired needs slowing, numb needs waking, urge needs surfing.
A quick reading. So you can see what shifts after.
