Real-life Dime Game example! The Dime Game is a interpersonal effectiveness DBT skill for figuring out how intensely to ask for something or say no to a request. I also love using it as a gut check when I’m feeling socially anxious about asserting my needs, and I recommend it to all my people pleasing clients for that use. Along with the DEAR MAN GIVE FAST skills from DBT, it’s a great tool for communication and assertiveness. Needed to actualky use it myself today, so sharing my practice! #dbts
