I know I feel like I have a problem interpreting things because my emotions always impair me from my logic.
The good part of the DBT is that it works on our getting better at this through mindfulness. Awareness of our thoughts at the present & being in the NOW. It gives us the time to get out logical mind working & acknowledging what it's thoughts are before ever taking any action. Both parts of the mind are in there but we have to learn how when our emotional mind seems to be the strongest, to stop & take the time to look at the situation & force the logical mind to do it's work. Definitely NOT easy.....but it is doable for everyone. Just takes time & practice & sometimes a good T to help us do the practice work by pointing out logical thoughts that we probably had but just didn't recognize.
