#53: Walking the Middle Path
When we find ourselves getting caught in extremes, the DBT skill called Walking the Middle Path helps us re-calibrate.
Use this skill when you notice you are caught in binary thinking to find a way to move towards center. This episode explores common opposites:
Reasonable Mind vs. Emotion Mind
Doing Mind vs. Being Mind
Intense Desire of the Moment vs. Radical Acceptance of the Moment
Self-denial vs. Self-indulgence
