I've always been interested in the mind, body, spirit leanings of DBT therapy. Certainly meditation, distraction, and coping are all speaking to those areas of us that need care. In my own life as a person who has always lived with mental illness, I know that I am at my best when those three areas are well taken care of. For me, that means meditation, prayer, exercise, eating right, and keeping a schedule. And of course, medication and therapy. But to ignore our spiritual side, or our physical health, when dealing with mental illness, is to create a one legged-stool. I would love to see what you come up with for your presentation. Best, Hopeful Camel
