#16: Opposite Action

#16: Opposite Action

Sometimes it's better to not act on our emotions. The DBT skill Opposite Action helps you act opposite to what your emotion is telling you to do. Use this skill when your emotion doesn't fit the facts or when your emotion does fit the facts but acting on the emotion isn't effective.

This skill can help you act the way you want to feel instead of the way you do feel. Make sure you use this skill to change emotions you want to change, not emotions that other people want you to change. This skill has several steps so listen in to learn how to fully change the way you feel.
