Alongside accumulating short-term positive emotion, a part of DBT is learning how to accumulate positive emotion in the long-run. With AvPD specifically, this can be very difficult because often we avoid ourselves and our lives. This part of DBT is about slowly building a person and a life that you don’t have to flee from, and can provide you foundation in the future.

This is a small hand-out of steps on how to accumulate long-term positive emotion, with listed examples to help explain. 

From DBT Skills and Training, 2nd Edition, by Marsha M. Linehan.

Tea success! I had this terrible fear the pot would just crack or something but yay, poison apple tea pot saves the day and improves my life

I’m excited about obtaining things that feel more like me, lately

I recently replaced my can opener ( because it was cheap garbage that I had bought with my ex) and I paid a few more dollars for a neon green one. Totally worth it.

We had to write a Mini Comic for my Illustration Class so I did mine based on The Frog and The Scorpion. Hopefully you all know the story! 

But if you don’t know the story… In the original the scorpion stings the frog in the middle of the river. When the frog asks “why” the scorpion says “it’s in my nature” and they both die. I like my ending more.

Done with watercolor and pen and ink nib.

I always thought this story was fucked up, even when I heard it as a very young child. I even got put in the naughty corner, and a star next to my name crossed off for questioning it.

This story is so much better, and I like it’s message much more.
