[QUOTE="Kathy813, post: 578475, member: 1967"] What a great article. It goes along with everything we have been learning in our NAMI Family to Family classes. Last week we learned that effective treatment for people with the dual diagnosis of a mental illness and chemical addiction needs to have both treated concurrently. Nancy, while I have been a proponent of DBT, I have to admit I had trouble understanding it. Last week, an older lady in our class who is borderline explained it so I could understand terms like wise mind and mindfulness. She said that when she experiences an emotion, she has to stop herself and ask if that would be the reaction of someone with a wise (well) mind. If not, she corrects her response to the situation. It is a state of being mindful that her initial reactions may not be the correct reaction and enables her to stop herself before acting on it. I liked how she explained it. [/QUOTE]
