Opposite action and building mastery are two powerful DBT skills that can help anyone struggling with addiction or mental health issues to regulate their emotions and take control of their lives.
Feeling stuck in a cycle of addiction and emotional turmoil? Cassandra’s latest episode might be just what you need. With a candid and relatable approach, she opens up about her own struggles with Adderall dependency and how she's using Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to regain control of her life. But it’s not just about her journey; it’s about equipping you with practical tools to help you on yours.
In this episode, Cassandra dives into two key DBT skills: opposite action and building mastery. Opposite action is all about challenging those automatic, often self-destructive responses we have to our emotions. Cassandra explains how taking actions that are opposite to what you feel can lead to healthier outcomes. Imagine feeling angry but choosing to speak calmly instead—that’s opposite action in a nutshell.
Building mastery, on the other hand, is about setting small, achievable goals that build your confidence and sense of accomplishment over time. Whether it’s getting out of bed a bit earlier or tackling a new hobby, these small wins can make a big difference. Throughout the episode, Cassandra’s warm and empathetic tone makes complex concepts feel accessible and actionable. She’s not just talking at you; she’s walking with you through the ups and downs of recovery.
If you’re grappling with addiction, mental health issues, or just looking for ways to better manage your emotions, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice. Tune in to learn how mindfulness, opposite action, and building mastery can be game-changers in your journey toward emotional well-being.
