In DBT my therapist would say, "Be mindful of your judgments!" It's not a stupid thought, it's a perfectly logical thought when we come from a certain background. I came from a background that really emphasized handling things on your own and toughing it out. It took a long time for me to realize that biology, experience, and environment all play into our mental health and sometimes we need things like medication and therapy and that we can use all sorts of things together.

DBT isn't easy so be open to giving yourself credit and be aware of the small steps forward even if you slip and fall after. The fact that there was even a step is worthy of recognition.

(I really am a DBT cheerleader haha - I just found it so freeing once I was able to really get what it was teaching).
