Emotion is to give you a message, not to take you on a ride.
Ever wondered how mindfulness can transform mental health? Dr. Eboni Webb, a leading expert in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), sheds light on this in a compelling conversation with Lee Pepper at the Recovery Results conference. Dr. Webb, known for her pioneering work in DBT, discusses how mindfulness practices can bring conscious awareness to our emotions, treating them as messages rather than overwhelming rides.
She shares her journey in developing specialized DBT programs for clients with developmental disabilities and borderline-intellectual functioning, making these therapies more accessible to those who need them most. Dr. Webb explains the intricate balance between emotional and logical states of mind, emphasizing how DBT can guide us to wisdom by harmonizing these aspects.
Her vivid metaphor of the pregnant water flea, whose babies develop protective helmets if the mother is emotionally dysregulated, underscores the importance of emotional stability for overall well-being. The episode also features insights from Will Hart of the Life Challenge team, who talks about setting motivational goals for the new year. Whether you're grappling with addiction or seeking ways to support someone who is, this episode offers valuable perspectives on using mindfulness and DBT for emotional and mental health recovery.
Tune in to discover how Dr. Webb's work at The Village of Kairos is making a difference and learn practical strategies for incorporating mindfulness into your daily life.
