Verse 1
listen up now and put on your ear spectacles
DBT is a therapy, a therapy that demands your respectacles
D is for Dialectical
like fire and ice, feeling mean and nice,
like french fries in a salad, 2 opposing things are valid (change + acceptance)
and that is the first part of this ballad
B is for behavior
we all have motives that can pave your
future, your choices, you can use your voices
Learning skills and tools
absolutely rules
T is for therapy
something to help me be a better me
learning skills to handle situations
the journey in itself is the destination
Chorus: DBT x 4
Verse 2
to embrace both acceptance and change
there are 4 modules that help rearrange
your mindset on painful situations
to sort the tools you need
here is my narration
First up in the DBT tool belt is mindfulness
it will help you live your life full of kindfulness
with a deep breath and willing hands, you can make mindful plans
Judgments are invalidating
avoid making them, so you aren’t degrading
observe situations as they are
and your calculations will be healthier by far
Inside your head, you will find
Rational, Emotional, and Wise Mind.
here you can make the best decisions by far.
mindfully remember: where you go, is where you are
(chorus)
Verse 3
Next in the tool belt of DBT
is Distress Tolerance for you and me
by following these skills, your next your arrival
is reality acceptance and crisis survival
STOP skill, List pros and cons, TIPP (tipp tipp)
we are interconnected physiologically
do not escalate nor avoid,
Marsha is better than Psychodynamic Sigmund Freud
Next is Emotional Regulation
are you listening up? I need your concentration.
there is no such thing as feeling wrong or right
so please know that you are valid, all day and all night.
Check the facts - Wise Mind, does this make sense?
Opposite Action - let the willingness commence
name them to tame them but do not blame them
all emotions have a cause but please hold the applause
Last but not least is Interpersonal Effectiveness
steps to maintain your self-respectedness
by growing via mending social diseffeciveness
navigate relationships, no matter how treacherous
(chorus) x 2
