From Borderline to Beautiful: Hope and Help for BPD with Rose Skeeters, MA, LPC, PN2

Facing Fear: Using Opposite Action to Overcome Anxiety


Listen Later

Fear can be a powerful emotion that often keeps us stuck, avoiding challenges and missing opportunities. In this episode, we focus on how the DBT skill of Opposite Action can help you confront fear and take courageous steps toward your goals. By learning to act opposite to the urge to avoid or retreat, you can build confidence, resilience, and a deeper sense of empowerment.

Join us as we explore how to recognize fear, assess its validity, and use Opposite Action to break free from its grip.

Key Takeaways:

  • Fear is a natural emotion, but it doesn’t have to dictate your actions.
  • Opposite Action empowers you to challenge fear-driven behaviors and choose courage.
  • By repeatedly practicing Opposite Action, you can desensitize fear triggers and foster personal growth.
  • Share & Connect: If this episode resonated with you, please share it with someone who might need it. Let’s create a little more understanding and compassion this holiday season.
