This week in Adult DBT Group...

This week in Adult DBT group we reviewed the IMPROVE skill and learned the skill of Pros/Cons.  In Pros/Cons, we look at the pros and cons of both resisting an impulse and acting on the impulse.  We also look at both short-term pros/cons and long-term pros/cons.  This skill can be used both in the moment of an emotional crisis and ahead of time, before a crisis occurs.  When you are in emotion mind, it is especially important to focus on the pros of resisting the impulse and the cons of acting on the impulse.
