The goal is to get into wise mind. That way you're able to interpret the facts objectively and consider the emotions of the person with whom you are about to interact, as well as your own emotions and the consequences of different behaviors.
Cassandra, the voice behind 'Help - I’m Addicted to Adderall!!!', opens up about her ongoing battle with Adderall dependency and shares a valuable tool for managing emotions. This episode focuses on the DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) skill called STOP, which stands for Stop, Take a step back, Observe, and Proceed mindfully. While on her second walk of the day, Cassandra delves into how this skill has been a game-changer in her emotional regulation toolkit.
She explains how physically stopping what you're doing, taking a moment to breathe, and observing your surroundings without judgment can help you get into a 'wise mind'. This state allows you to assess situations more objectively and consider both your own emotions and those of others involved. Cassandra also talks about the importance of deep breathing and movement to calm down during stressful moments.
She shares a heartfelt story about using the STOP skill to apologize to her mom, highlighting the real-life impact of these techniques. Alongside this, she discusses other supportive treatments like DBT therapy, supplements, and support groups that have helped her on her journey. This episode is perfect for anyone struggling with intense emotions or looking for practical ways to improve their mental health.
