Self-Soothe with 5 Senses

This DBT Skill encourages using the five senses to self-soothe during stressful moments. By engaging with vision, hearing, smell, taste, and touch, individuals can foster mindfulness, grounding, and emotional resilience. Reflecting on personal preferences can enhance the application of these soothing techniques.

Connect with a Peaceful Moment in Time

Think about a time in your life where everything was okay. Engage all of your senses to remember the way it looked, smelled, felt and sounded. Say to yourself "I am okay in this moment. Peace and joy are within me."
