? about DBT - wise mind

If you've gone over Wise Mind in therapy, did you also go over the Ship? I cannot for the life of me remember the name of what it was. My T drew a picture of a ship and wrote words on the ship. And I'm drawing a total blank. It's going to drive me up a wall until I remember what exactly it is called.

Hopefully this made a little sense, lol.

Titanic? No, probably not...

LOL! I knew this probably didn't make much sense. It's going to annoy me until I remember, I might call T and ask her so it stops annoying me.

sorry JWD, I'm not ignoring your question, I just don't know the answer. If you find out, let us know!

I assume it is like the bike riding example, only using the experience of working on a ship (ballast being brakes, etc.)?

"Wise Mind is like riding a bike, which takes effort, balance, and steering. You can learn Wise Mind, like you learned to ride a bike, only by experience. Just like you must pedal to start a bike rolling you must be willing to expend a little extra effort to initiate Wise Mind. As you would fall over if you were too far to one side or another on a bike, find Wise Mind by making the effort to find the balance of your emotions and thinking. Intuition steers you toward Wise Mind. The negative emotions (anxiety, depression, anger, shame, and guilt) are like putting on the brakes. Like you can jump on a bike and ride, you can learn to activate wise mind and do the best you can."
