DBT Observe Mindfulness "What" Skill (PDF)

$3.00
Translation missing: en.products.product.view_full_details

The DBT “what” skill observe is essential for promoting emotional balance and mindfulness. It helps quiet the mind and allows us to be present in the moment without judgment. This skill involves tapping into the five senses and can be practiced regularly for clarity and inner peace.

The DBT Observe Mindfulness "What" Skill handout provides clients with a brief introduction to the skill and offers tips for practicing observing through tapping into their senses, thoughts, urges, and breathing. For example, it reminds them to take a moment to pause and engage in silent observation to fully focus on the experience.

Implementing the tips presented in this handout can help kids and teens ground themselves in the present moment. To practice observing, they can set aside a moment to pause and take slow, deep breaths while shifting their focus to their surroundings without rushing or judging.

Feel free to add-on our DBT “What” Skills Worksheets, which include a 1-page observe worksheet to support individuals in applying the skills from this handout. We also offer a DBT “What” Skills handout for a quick reference to all three mindfulness “what” skills.
