Marsha Linehan said she used multiple resources in her formulation of DBT. She credited Zen Buddhism for the Mindfulness Module and I do think many streams run from Buddhist thought.
I am honored that you are printing out and practicing the skills.
This is so interesting and on point, Frances. I'm actually using a few of these skills in the work I'm doing with Tjikko, which I might be able to write a little bit about tomorrow. We'll see!
Thanks, Elizabeth. Didi I mention to you that one of the first books I read when learning DBT was “Don’t Shoot the Dog” by Karen Pryor…yep, helpful for people and dog training.
I’m so delighted you found the Mindfulness Module useful. Thank you for your lovely comment. As much as I like Jungian ideas and writing, it’s DBT skills I use every day.
DBT seems to be a combination of mindfulness, Rogerian, and cognitive therapy. I believe like any therapy it has to be practiced and practiced. You are so generous to share this with us. I will re-read and like last week I printed it out too. Thanks Frances.

These are skills I intend to integrate into my life. Thank you!

Finally!! A mindfulness / meditation experience that makes sense to me.
When I had small children I used to just float off into the ether and ‘come to’ 20 minutes later feeling totally relaxed.
Now I worry about shoulds and oughts and a scattered mind.
So thank you so much for removing anxiety and guilt!!
And ‘Do you want to be right or do you want to be effective?’ is just perfection. 😊😊😊
