@TalkingAboutBPD When it comes up, try saying, "I'm noticing I'm having the thought that I deserve to suffer" or "that's an interesting thought"

@TalkingAboutBPD 1st step is becoming aware we are having the thought. Once we shine a light on it we start taking away its power & can try to apply skills.

[Dialectical Diddy @Dialectic_Diddy]

@TalkingAboutBPD so glad for you! that's a HUGE step!

Borderline Personality Disorder is a poor label for a disorder of the emotion regulation system #destigmatize #bpd #DBT #borderline

[Dialectical Diddy @Dialectic_Diddy]

"Radical Acceptance" means ALL THE WAY acceptance; mind, body, & soul. Acknowledging 'it is what it is' can be both difficult & freeing #DBT
