Ah, here is this thread!

Yesterday, I was struggling a bit and listened to one of the DBT Peer Connections videos on YouTube. It talked about watching your thoughts and identifying whether they are real or not.

And how emotions are what drive action. But if the thought isn’t real (what evidence do you have?), then you should take the opposite action.

I realized that a lot of my thoughts in part “don’t fit the facts.” They are worries about things that are exaggerated in my mind.

I took a few minutes to think them through, and took the opposite point of view, and went on with my day.
