Mindfulness Skills
Mindfulness skills focus on increasing awareness of the present moment in a non-judgemental way. Emotion Regulation helps us learn how to label emotion, learn how emotion works, learn how to prevent getting emotionally dyregulated and learning how to ride out intense emotions. Distress tolerance is a group of skills that helps us not act on intense impulses and learn how to accept painful moments. Interpersonal effectiveness skills are geared toward helping learn ways to directly express your feelings, learn how to validate others emotions and also balance your own self-respect.
