Ride the Wave: DBT Guided Meditation for Strong Emotions & Urges

Feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, anger, sadness, or an urge you don’t want to act on?

This guided DBT meditation will help you “ride the wave” of a strong emotion without suppressing it—or reacting automatically.

Using evidence-based skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy, you’ll practice how to:

• Observe and name what you’re feeling
• Notice where an emotion or urge appears in your body
• Create space between an urge and your response
• Stay grounded as emotional intensity rises and falls
• Choose an effective next step instead of reacting impulsively
