I spoke to my therapist about this. He isn't familiar with DBT but he has trained in mindfulness, in the Buddhist tradition.
I don't think he seemed all that clear on participating vs. observing either. He seemed to think you should be an observing participant. But I might have misunderstood, because I find the whole thing more than a bit confusing. I'll try reading it again today.
I downloaded the Excel version of the diary card, just because I hate to write and hoped that a computer version would be more likely to be filled out. It's not.
I think I get a bit overwhelmed by all those boxes, trying to figure out what they mean, etc. and go into avoidance mode.
