This week in Adult DBT group...

This week in Adult DBT group we began the Distress Tolerance module.  This module helps us to cope with painful feelings and urges, as pain is a part of life and can't always be avoided.  The skill we learned this week was the DISTRACT with ACCEPTS skill.  This skill suggests that when confronted with painful feelings and urges, we distract ourselves with Activities, Contributing to others, Comparisons, other Emotions, Pushing away, other Thoughts, and other Sensations.
