Wise Mind

#dialecticalbehaviortherapy #dbt is an evidence based psychotherapy that can help with different types of mental health issues. DBT teaches the concept of the wise mind. This is the overlap of rational and emotional mind.


It can be helpful to think about which mind state a person is in when feeling distress or facing a problem and try to move towards the middle, the wise mind. This allows the logic of the rational mind to coexist with the valid feelings of the emotional mind and lead to an integration of the two.


When using the wise mind, a person can have more clarity, compassion, balance and nuance which can help when problem solving or managing difficult emotions and situations.
