How to balance acceptance and change strategies in DBT

Описание: Here’s the mistake you don't want to make as a DBT therapist ⬇️

Jumping straight to change strategies without laying the groundwork of acceptance first. ❌

When we do this, we:
⚠️ Risk invalidating the client
⚠️ Underestimate how hard the task feels in their body
⚠️ Lose trust in the therapy relationship

Yes, clients need change, and we want to provide that to them.
But if they don’t feel understood, they won’t follow us into it. That’s why pairing validation with skills like opposite action is so powerful. It softens resistance and makes space for the work.

👉 The formula: validate first, then apply change. Always.

📣 If you’re a therapist who feels stuck in knowing when to push for change and when to lean into acceptance, it's time to join the Rebel Minds Learning Collective, where you get to ask the questions you've always wanted.
