I was reading about DBT and came across the following and thought it's worth sharing:
MYTHS WE LIVE BY!
____1. There is a right way to feel in every situation.
____2. Letting others know that I am feeling bad is a weakness.
____3. Uncomfortable feelings are bad and destructive.
____4. Being emotional means being out of control.
____5. All painful emotions are a result of a bad attitude.
____6. If others don’t approve of how I am feeling, I obviously shouldn’t feel the way that I do.
____7. Other people are the best judge of how I am feeling.
____8. Painful emotions are not really important and should be ignored.
Can you think of any other myths?
