Self-Soothing Skill

Self-soothing is a coping skill derived from Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, known as


DBT, to use when you are in Emotion Mind. Self-soothing is when we use our senses
to help manage our emotions. Emotion Mind is when the emotion is dictating our
thinking and behavior. In order to get out of Emotion Mind and back to a more
reasonable state of mind, coping skills are needed. This particular coping skill
encourages us to use our body to help cope with our emotions. When our mind is
unreliable, we can use our body to bring us back to center because our body and
senses are always in the moment. Remember not all coping skills may work for you,
and that is okay, don’t force it! There are numerous coping skills for a reason. If you
