yes! Rainbow, mindfulness is a huge part of DBT, and my T has talked to me many times about just noticing thoughts, not having to act on them or hold onto them or push them away but just letting them come and letting them go.

that's a huge struggle for me, because I do get really obsessive sometimes. I am able to notice the thoughts now, and notice when they are irrational or don't meet the facts, but I am not able to stop them, because how can you STOP thinking something? I just wish I could turn off my brain sometimes.

And yes, peace and calm, that's exactly what I got from Ts voice. Her picking up the phone, first of all, BEING there, and then being her usual self and calm and centered and peaceful and strong, all of that. I feel like I can breathe a little bit easier.
