The DBT Stop Skill: Explained

The STOP skill in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a powerful tool for managing intense emotions and preventing impulsive reactions. By pausing and grounding yourself before acting, you create space to respond thoughtfully rather than react automatically—especially in emotionally charged situations. It’s a simple yet essential practice for building emotional regulation and self-control. Whether you’re navigating personal challenges or high-stress professional moments, the STOP skill can help you stay present, clear-headed, and in control.
