Mindfulness is the foundation of DBT.
It teaches us to pause, breathe, and become aware of what’s happening right now—without judgement.
Whether you're overwhelmed, anxious, or just feeling disconnected, mindfulness helps you respond with clarity instead
of reacting from chaos.
At DBT Support Hub, we offer mindfulness as a skill anyone can learn.
It’s not about doing it perfectly. It’s about showing up, gently, for yourself.
