EPISODE TERMS:

Schizotypal Personality Disorder - is a mental health condition characterized by odd or eccentric behavior, unusual beliefs or thoughts, and difficulty forming close relationships. People with this disorder may have magical thinking, such as believing they have special powers or can predict the future, and they often feel uncomfortable in social situations. Their way of thinking and behaving can be different from what is considered typical, which can make it hard for them to connect with others.

STOP Skill:

S - Stop: Pause and take a moment to halt whatever you’re doing. This helps prevent impulsive reactions and gives you time to think.

T - Take a Step Back: Move away from the situation physically or mentally. This helps you create space to gain perspective and calm your emotions.

O - Observe: Notice what’s happening around you and within you. Pay attention to your thoughts, feelings, and physical sensations without judgment.

P - Proceed Mindfully: After taking a moment, decide how to respond in a thoughtful way. Use the information you gathered to make a choice that aligns with your goals and values
