Episode Synopsis

DISCLAIMER The contents of this podcast are educational. I am not formally licensed in any way. If you are currently experiencing distress or crisis, please reach out to a licensed mental health professional for support.
Do you often fly off the handle and unintentionally hurt people around you, emotionally or physically? Or do you sink in a swamp of sorrows and out of overwhelm and depression let damage accrue by not acting? Do you avoid severe problems by procrastination and indecision? Or does this apply to anyone you know?

Then I've got great news for you. It sounds like you need a higher tolerance for crisis and distress. A tolerance doesn't mean we're problem solving anything quite yet - we're just learning how to tolerate being in a distressed state with a neatly organized, sharpened set of tools we know how to use well.

Today we will talk about the first part of the Distress Tolerance module from DBT: Crisis Survival.
