In DBT, we often use the skill Pros and Cons to help us determine what skillful means are required to get us to our goal (or the result we hope to achieve in a situation).

We may determine the Pros and Cons of using DBT skills in a situation in which we have an action urge or are determining between two courses of action. An action urge is a crisis when it is very strong, and acting on the urge will make things worse in the long term.

The DBT Skill "Pros and Cons" helps us to weigh out the pros and cons of a situation so that we can use our Wise Mind when dealing with a situation. Making a Pros and Cons list helps us to rationally think about a situation. Our video on Pros and Cons will help you to navigate the ups and downs of skill development in order to maximize your potential.

At The Counseling Center Group® we use a variety of techniques to help improve the quality of life for individuals, couples, groups, and families. We work with children, adolescents, and adults. You can reach out by calling us at 888-604-6776 or by visiting our website at [ Ссылка ].
