i’m learning about the what (observe, describe, participate) and how (nonjudgementally, onemindfully, effectively) skills. for some reason i’m really confused about the nonjudgemental one.
my therapists say that a judgement can be both good and bad. i’m just not sure what is considered a judgement and how to distinguish what is a good judgement and a bad judgement. also wondering how to apply the skill.
i know this is probably really simple in someone else's eyes, but i have trouble learning so anything helps. thank u so much
Hello! So in my opinion a judgement is a thought on a situation, that's not an opinion. I'd say a good judgment would be to not to get in a car with a drunk driver. A bad judgement would be like overreacting in a situation like jumping out the window of a building because there's a bee in the room and bees make you uncomfortable. But like a judgement about yourself kinda thing? Calling yourself weird for example. My therapist tells me to refrain from judgements like these but in this case.. Weird can mean a freak or it can simply mean different. It all depends on how you look at things. Perspective is key. Idk if any of that helped but I gave it a shot.
Without judgement would be without adding an opinion it kinda. Like looking at facts only. Examples you have a bf who is late coming home. Judgemt would be implying that probably this or probably that. Making a whole narrative about something. It's just seeing what is in that moment for what it is. Then u don't drive yourself into a spiral of anxiety or whatever else.
