Show Notes

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
