| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr If you're going to post something that may affect others please consider using TW (for Trigger warning) to give others a heads up. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Icebreaker: What are your associations with "Mindfulness"? Do you have experience with mindfulness? What kind? Has it been helpful to you (or not)? #BPDChat |
 | Gary Paul Slegg @GarySlegg RT @CarlDunnJr: If you deal with suicidal thoughts or emotional distress (or help support someone else who does) this excellent website has videos & documents that show you how to create your own Safety Plan. A great resource! @AlysColeKing #BPDChat #SPSM https://t.co/iVIdU21KLS |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @_freedomandhope Hi! That's good to hear. I have ADHD so my biggest challenge is to remember to practice mindfulness... But when I do, it has been very helpful to me to connect as directly as possible with what's happening right now. #BPDChat |
 | Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr I used to think it was all about sitting quietly trying not to think. I've learnt you can do things mindfully rather than just sit there and fully be in the moment. I've found it hard to practice but think it could help me #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @KellyannNavarre Hi! Mindfulness can be so simple but I think many of us struggle with it - it's difficult to put into practice. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @bpdshit1 Hi! How do you suggest people use mindfulness when they're in crisis? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @Meandmymhmatter: @CarlDunnJr I used to think it was all about sitting quietly trying not to think. I've learnt you can do things mindfully rather than just sit there and fully be in the moment. I've found it hard to practice but think it could help me #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Meandmymhmatter Hi! That's an important realization that you can do thing (activities, etc.) mindfully. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @Artful_Kimmie: |
| Meandmymhmatters BA (Hons) @Meandmymhmatter @CarlDunnJr Yep. Especially as I hear a voice so sitting quietly actually gets distressing. But physically doing things mindfully is much better. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Artful_Kimmie Hi! That's great! I hope you'll mention more about body scans and the breathe bubble (Calm app). I know about body scans (and find them useful) but I'd like to also hear about the other. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @MissLexisaurus: |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @MissLexisaurus Hi! #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @ajcan36 Hi! I hope you'll talk we get to the main topic about how you use mindfulness when in crisis. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @samiaNstuff Hi! It's great that you're able to be aware that's not particularly helpful and find something else to do. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @LiluWheeler @bpdshit1 Hi! I'd be interested in how others are using mindfulness in crisis. I agree distraction methods are one type of activity that can be very helpful when in crisis. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @Meandmymhmatter: @CarlDunnJr Yep. Especially as I hear a voice so sitting quietly actually gets distressing. But physically doing things mindfully is much better. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Meandmymhmatter Hi! Doing an activity mindfully that focuses your attention outside yourself can be very helpful. Also, for people who've been affected by trauma, focusing inside may be uncomfortable. A good alternative for them is to focus on an activity or thing outside themselves. #BPDChat |

| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @lisjt90 Hi! I'm sorry to hear that was an awful experience. I hope you'll find something in our topic today that is helpful. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @LiluWheeler @bpdshit1 I'm interested why that is. I hope you can expand on that when we move to the main topic. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Luciek11K @Meandmymhmatter Some people find doing an activity (one example would be yoga) mindfully to be helpful. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr I've already fallen behind in the chat. Lol - I guess it's a good time to move to our (related) main topic for today. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Tonight's topic is... What is Mindfulness and Can it be Helpful to You? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @KellyannNavarre @LiluWheeler @bpdshit1 I guess it's good to mention that DBT think of mindfulness as the core skill. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr One definition of Mindfulness (from Jon Kabat-Zinn) is "Paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and nonjudgmentally". #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Another definition of Mindfulness is: “awareness without judgment of what is, via direct and immediate experience.” #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr If you've practiced Mindfulness, has it helped you? In what way? If it's been difficult or not helpful, please tell us your experience. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Does anyone here have experience practicing Mindfulness? What's been your experience? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr 2) Being present at each current moment in your life... Reducing the amount of time you are not present. Practicing one-mindfulness. Reducing distractions. 2/2 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr A couple of ways I personally find mindfulness helpful. ... 1) Seeing what's right in front of your nose... Being able to focus on and concentrate on what's right in front of you. 1/2 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Luciek11K Yes, I think being able to slow down and be mindful of your current emotion can be very valuable. If you're able to know what emotion you're feeling then you can understand what valuable information that emotion is trying to communicate to you. #BPDChat |

A great resource! @AlysColeKing #BPDChat #SPSM https://t.co/iVIdU21KLS |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr NOTE: There are 5 videos of Marsha Linehan teaching essential DBT skills (you can buy them for a fee - see https://t.co/vPd8KyFKVP). Fortunately, there are free transcripts of all 5 videos here. #BPDChat 2/2 https://t.co/YfJYhDldAN |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr a VERY helpful introduction to Mindfulness from a DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) perspective, read the following transcript of a video of Marsha Linehan teaching mindfulness. #BPDChat 1/2 https://t.co/eAc2tcPoJc |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @_freedomandhope This is what someone else was mentioning - being mindful of current emotion - figuring out from these clues what emotion you're having and knowing what info that emotion is communicating. (Then, if appropriate, changing your emotion with the skill of Opposite Action). #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Save this link! Cindy Sanderson wrote this helpful introduction to Mindfulness. #BPDChat https://t.co/eNAbDSjTby |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Forms of mindfulness have been practiced in both Eastern and Western traditions. Today, mindfulness is a port of several current psychotherapies, including Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you spend time thinking about the past or worrying about the future? Not being in the present moment? #BPDChat 2/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr For many people, thinking about the past or worrying about the future increases their suffering. #BPDChat 1/2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Does anyone have specific questions about Mindfulness? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you have problems at times focusing on one thing? (you are not alone). #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Do you have problems at times in being fully in the present moment? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Being in Wise Mind can help us to see things fully & make good decisions. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT talks about 3 states of mind: Emotion Mind, Logical (Rational) Mind, and Wise Mind. #BPDChat 1/3 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Being completely in Emotion Mind or Logical Mind can cause us to not see things fully. #BPDChat 2/3 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @MariaEstrada17 Hi! Thanks for sharing this. I'm really glad to hear you did this. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Practicing mindfulness can help us be more fully present and experience life more fully. #BPDChat |
 | Maria Estrada @MariaEstrada17 @CarlDunnJr Mindfulness definitely helps me stop and breath when feeling an intense emotion. #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT says there are 3 What skills and 3 How skills for Mindfulness. 1/9 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT 'What' skills: Observe (without words), Describe, Participate. 2/9 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT 'How' skills: Nonjudgmentally, One-mindfully, Effectively. 3/9 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT 'What' skill: Observe - just notice what happening in the present moment, without words or labels. 4/9 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT 'What' skill: Describe - Attach words to the experience, stay with the facts, don't use judgments. 5/9 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT 'How' skill: Effectively. Do the activity in the most effective way. (Don't insist on being right, rather, be effective). 9/9 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT 'What' skill: Participate - Become part of the action or activity. Don't just observe from the sidelines, throw yourself into the activity, 6/9 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT 'How' skill: Nonjudgmentally. Without judgment. Just describe (just the facts). 7/9 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr DBT 'How' skill: One-mindfully. Concentrate on only one thing. No multi-tasking (multi-tasking is less effective). 8/9 #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr In DBT, people often find a "small" activity, such as walking around the block, brushing one's teeth, washing dishes, or taking a shower, that they can work on practicing mindfully. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr Mindfulness can be helpful when we're used to not being present in the current moment - "Now". Has anyone found mindfulness helpful with dissociation? #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr A highly recommended book is about mindfulness (and BPD) is: 'Mindfulness for BPD' by Blaise Aguirre & Gillian Galen. Lots of mindfulness exercises! - @blaisemd @GillianPsyD #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @_freedomandhope Great point. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr RT @MariaEstrada17: @CarlDunnJr Mindfulness definitely helps me stop and breath when feeling an intense emotion. #BPDchat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @MariaEstrada17 This is good to hear. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @Luciek11K Yes, my concentration is also not so good at times. (ADHD). When I remember to practice mindfulness it helps. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @EllieRAA Hi! I hear you. I think remembering one of the DBT 'How' skills: "One-mindfully" helps me. No multi-tasking. Just do one thing at a time. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @_freedomandhope I think there are grounding techniques that help some people. (I was curious if anyone found mindfulness helpful or not helpful... so thanks for explaining). #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @IamCarrieagain Hi! That's great to hear! That may be a good suggestion for other people. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @EllieRAA I've found if you can practice mindfulness regularly the constant stream of thoughts either reduces or slows down. (The challenge for me is to remember to stick with practicing mindfulness so this can happen). #BPDChat |
 | Sheena Monster @SheenaMonst3r @AndrewYang had my #vote from word 1 -- immediately after reading his platform, I knew there was no other logical option. Easiest decision I've ever made! #VoteYAng2020 #Yang2020 #YangGang2020 #YangGang #MATH #HumanityFirst #BPDChat #Mentalhealth https://t.co/G4WgFrNXH2 |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr I hope everyone will save this link to the FREE TRANSCRIPT of a "Mindfulness" skill video by Marsha Linehan. This explains the DBT skill of Mindfulness really well. #BPDChat https://t.co/RriD0bVRwD |
 | bpdvideo @bpdvideo Mindfulness is a powerful skills to use for the upcoming holiday season, particularly at family gatherings. Looking forward to hearing how #BPDchat members try to incorporate it in the coming weeks. |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr The other short explanation I recommend is this: Cindy Sanderson wrote this helpful introduction to Mindfulness. #BPDChat https://t.co/eNAbDSjTby |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @EllieRAA I'm that way, too. #BPDChat |
| Carl Dunn @CarlDunnJr @samiaNstuff That's great to hear. It really is a great book. #BPDChat |
