Crisis Survival Skill: Pros and Cons

This is a skill I employ often! It can be very helpful to write out the pros and cons of acting on a crisis urge; seeing it written out can give us clarity as to the real consequences at play. When we give ourselves the space to rehearse and remind ourselves of the pros and cons of two courses of actions-we can better prepare ourselves to make a decision in Wise Mind and live out our values for a life worth living.
