Skills card set "Acute Stop & Orientation" – DBT Acute Set (4 cards)
This set of skills cards was developed for acute stress situations in which thoughts race, tension is high, dissociation sets in, or automatic reactions take over. It is based on DBT strategies and supports you in pausing, reorienting yourself, and consciously returning to the here and now.
The four cards are designed to work together seamlessly , offering a compact structure for moments when you need quick support, feel disconnected, or lose touch with yourself. The focus is on interruption, reorientation, and conscious self-management in the here and now.
This set will help you with:
to set a clear emergency stop
to orient yourself to current reality
to interrupt distressing thoughts
To consciously stop automatic reactions
Especially in situations with medium to high tension or incipient dissociation, these cards help to regain contact with the ground, gain a moment of distance and remain capable of acting before the situation escalates further.
The skill cards are designed in a handy format and can be easily stored in an emergency kit, wallet or skills case.
