Second Thought
Taming impulsivity with DBT
Impulsivity is a short circuit: the urge fires and the action follows before anything else gets a vote — the message sent, the cart bought, the job quit. The trainable variable is the gap. This program builds it: the wedge, the ten-minute rule, urge surfing, chain analysis with the lights on, friction design, values speed bumps — and a log that turns every faded urge into recorded proof that the urge was weather, not a command.
由教练 Nathan 指导项目概览
- 适合人群
- For anyone whose fastest decisions are their most expensive ones: the unsendable message sent, the order placed at midnight, the exit speech delivered — the ten-second solutions that bill for weeks.
- 项目介绍
- A structured 6-week DBT program for impulsivity, built from the protocol clinicians use.
- 形式
- 10–15 min/day — coach videos, an urge log, and a weekly review that adapts your plan.
- 价格
- First week free — including your baseline urge report. Then $99, one-time — not a subscription.
The short circuit has a shape, too
- The message you couldn't unsend, written in under a minute.
- The order placed at midnight, regretted by morning.
- The exit speech delivered before the thought finished forming.
- Ten seconds of relief that bills you for weeks.
- Knowing the pause would help, and never quite having one.
Your urge log sets the pause
Not a course you watch — a loop you run. Second Thought logs urges whether or not you acted, then grows or shortens the prescribed pause from the evidence of whether the gap actually held.
Measure
A sixty-second urge log after any urge — acted on or not — plus a next-day regret check on the ones you acted on.

Short sessions with Nathan teach the method — the short circuit, the wedge, the ten-minute rule, chain analysis, friction design.

The weekly review sets two things: how long the pause runs, and which category the kit points at this week.
weekly review↻ the loop runs weekly — six times
The pause is a rung, not a rule. It grows from two minutes to five to ten as your log shows the gap holding, and steps back down when it doesn't — because a pause you can't keep isn't a skill, it's a stick to beat yourself with. Every faded urge gets recorded as proof the urge was weather, not a command.
Six weeks, one method
Sixteen sessions and five weekly reviews. The first week is free — including your baseline urge report.

DBT: crisis & impulse · 指导 4 个项目
The crisis-and-impulse specialist — calm, direct, built for the moment right before you do something you'll regret. Nathan's whole job is the sixty seconds between urge and action.
“Hi, I'm Nathan. Over the next six weeks we're not going to make the urges stop arriving — we're going to build a gap between the urge and the act, and prove to you it holds.”
DBT impulse control, faithfully built
Second Thought implements the DBT skills for impulse control — STOP, delay and urge surfing, behavioral chain analysis and solution analysis — alongside stimulus control and environment design, values-based cues, and relapse management. The chain work is run with the lights on and without blame: an autopsy of the sequence, not a verdict on the person.

- Values-based cues
Some categories belong elsewhere
Substance-dependence signals and gambling at severity are excluded from this program with routing to Clear Path or specialist treatment — stopping some substances suddenly needs a doctor involved. Impulses that endanger other people route to Even Keel and Flashpoint. Self-harm impulses route to crisis resources and clinician DBT, with the program continuing for everyday categories and the crisis card pinned.
Excluded categories are structurally removed from the urge log rather than left blank, and render as 'handled elsewhere' — so the program never reads your referral as a gap in your data. This is not medical advice or a crisis service.

开始之前
What if my impulsivity involves drinking or gambling?
Those categories are screened out and routed — to Clear Path or specialist treatment — rather than treated here. That's a deliberate limit: stopping some substances suddenly needs a doctor, not an app.
Do I log an urge even if I didn't act on it?
Especially then. Every urge that faded without action is recorded evidence that the urge was weather rather than a command — and those entries are what grow your pause.
Is chain analysis just picking apart my mistakes?
No. It's run with the lights on and without blame — an autopsy of the sequence to find where a skill could have entered, not a verdict on you. That framing is explicit in the sessions.
How much time does it take?
Sixty seconds after an urge, and ten to fifteen minutes most days for the session. Logging hours late is fine — an entry made the next morning beats one never made.
费用是多少?是订阅制吗?
第一周免费,无需信用卡。完整项目费用为$99,一次性付费——没有订阅,也无需取消。完成后即永久归你所有。
我怎么知道它是否有效?
你会在开始时完成一份经过验证的问卷,之后每次每周复盘时再次填写,因此进展是一个可以观察的数字,而不是一个连续打卡记录。在6次每周复盘中,项目会根据你自己的数据调整你的计划——如果这个数字没有变化,你也会看到。
