Mindfulness skills are the foundation of ALL the skills you will learn in DBT, and are taught and reviewed frequently in session. The reason for this is to allow you to recognize its importance in ALL aspects of life, not just when it's convenient.

The goal of mindfulness is to teach you how to pay attention differently to your life experiences without the added judgments that typically keep you stuck unwanted emotional and behavioral patterns.

Mindfulness skills are accessible to anyone, and the skills you learn here will be practical, measurable, and useful. It's difficult to validate or change what you are not aware of in your behaviors and thinking, and these skills start to awaken and empower you to heal.
