DBT Temporary Tattoos – An Artistically Skillful Choice

Here at Optimum Performance Institute, and in our OPI Intensive for young adults with Borderline Personality Disorder and BPD traits, we are constantly seeking new resources and materials to keep our participants engaged in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) both in and out of the office. We recently received several copies of The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Wellness Planner from Amanda Smith – an awesome resource that combines a year-long calendar, ideas from a diary card, and space to journal. There are areas to document emotions, urges, and skills used daily, as well as self-care assessments. We highly recommend it!

Aside from these great planners, Amanda was also kind enough to include some really cool temporary tattoos with DBT phrases.

I have to say that the tattoos were a hit, which was not surprising (because who doesn’t love temporary tattoos or flash tats?) but what did surprise me was where participants chose to place them on their bodies. They chose to make loud, bold statements by putting their DBT expressions on their arms, visible to all. I loved watching people ask what the tattoos were, what they meant, and how the participants responded and shared about DBT. Without meaning to, our participants were bringing awareness to this type of therapy.
