Imagine standing on the shore, watching the waves of the ocean. Some waves are gentle ripples, while others are towering and powerful, threatening to knock you off your feet. In life, these waves symbolize our emotions and urges—sometimes calm, sometimes overwhelming. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) introduces a vital skill called "urge surfing," which teaches us to ride these emotional waves without being dragged under. For those struggling with addiction, this metaphor becomes even more powerful.
Navigating Waves is a Canadian-based blog that offers valuable insights, tools, and guidance on incorporating DBT skills and mindfulness into everyday life. Our mission is to help individuals live a life worth living by providing practical resources and support.
