Happy BPD month ya'll! Each week I'm reviewing a DBT skill as a bonus episode and this week it's DBT Wise Mind. In Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), “wise mind” is the state where your emotional understanding and logical thinking work together.

DBT describes three “states of mind”:

• Emotion mind: driven mainly by feelings, urges, or moods
  Example: “I’m furious, so I’m quitting immediately.”
• Reasonable mind: driven mainly by logic, facts, and analysis
  Example: “Statistically, staying is safer financially.”
• Wise mind: the balanced middle ground that includes both emotion and reason
  Example: “I’m genuinely unhappy here, but I don’t need to make a decision tonight. I can plan a thoughtful next step.”

Let's get into it!
