~ Handout Directions ~

Provide a handout for each teen. Teach turning the mind DBT skill using the above information and other sources.

As you review the steps, point out the visual cues on the page:

Turning the mind starts at a fork in the road, with a choice between accepting and rejecting reality. The fork in the road, drawn on the page, illustrates the two choices.

Choosing the acceptance road has a positive outcome in life. Thus, the end of the acceptance road shows a doodle of a relaxing day of sunshine and birds.

Choosing the rejection road ends poorly in life, as depicted by the image of a broken heart.

In step 2, the teens make an inner commitment to turn to acceptance. On the handout, there is a rock pathway leading from the rejection road to the acceptance road. Teens can use this picture to imagine choosing this path at any point…they have a choice to leave the rejection road and move themselves over to the acceptance road.
