Scene 1 (0s)

[Audio] Good morning everyone! Let's begin our presentation about Dialectical Behavior Therapy and its three states of mind. Each state of mind has a great impact on our actions, decisions and reactions. We'll explore how all three can work together to help us lead effective, meaningful and happy lives..

Scene 4 (39s)

[Audio] The third state of mind presented in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is the Wise Mind, which serves as an integration of the Emotional and Reasonable minds to provide an objective perspective on a situation. It does not get caught up in short-term thinking or reactivity, but rather is based on making decisions that will have the greatest long term impact. The Wise Mind is a bridge between the two minds, which are naturally incompatible..

Scene 5 (1m 6s)

[Audio] Emotional Mind is a state of mind in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when one's current emotional state has a strong influence on thoughts and behaviors. Examples of this could include arguing when feeling anger, sacrificing yourself when feeling love, rushing when feeling anxious, or having difficulty concentrating when overwhelmed. These heightened emotional states can lead to heightened levels of stress due to emotional or physical pain, or too much mental or physical stimulation..

Scene 6 (1m 37s)

[Audio] Using reasonable mind can be an important tool in helping us navigate everyday life. This part of our brains can help us stay in control, think logically, and decide the best course of action. It is invaluable when we are in physical or emotional pain, as it can help us push through and be able to complete tasks or make decisions that we otherwise may have difficulty doing. Reasonable mind helps us think, plan, and evaluate situations so that we can make the best decisions for the given situation..

Scene 7 (2m 10s)

[Audio] This concept of Wise Mind involves integrating one's reasonable and emotional minds, to reach a place of peace and truth. It's about trusting yourself and your senses, and even having the confidence to make hard decisions, even if it comes with consequences. Let's look further into this concept now..

Scene 8 (2m 34s)

[Audio] In Wise Mind, one can find a place of balance and harmony between emotional and reasonable impulses. This state allows us to make decisions that are thoughtful and compassionate. It is essential to understand that one may not always be in Wise Mind, but it is accessible to provide guidance when needed..

Scene 9 (2m 55s)

[Audio] Looking at the three states of mind in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy – Wise Mind, Emotional Mind and Reasonable Mind – can be difficult. The differences between these can be seen in the following table which summarizes them. Wise Mind is driven by intellectual thought and logic, while Emotional Mind is based on feeling and not facts. Reasonable Mind however is a combination of gut reaction and logic, with an overall focus on the bigger picture. It can be tricky to remain logical and rational in difficult times, but it is important to namethe issue, identify it and respond accordingly. Intense emotional outbursts can lead to strong behaviours, and we must try to be calm and clear in our approach to the problem, so that we can see both its short-term and long-term consequences. With facts and evidence, we can make an informed decision on which skills would be most beneficial..

Scene 10 (3m 52s)

[Audio] DBT is an approach to mental wellness that focuses on acceptance and change. It focuses on three states of mind - wise mind, emotional mind, and reasonable mind. To use our wise mind, we need to understand the underlying Beliefs, Thoughts, and Mental Processes that help us become and stay emotionally balanced. Thank you for your attention..
