When you think about the holiday season, what emotions, sensations, and judgments come up for you? Maybe you're heading home for the holidays. Maybe you're staying home for the holidays. Maybe you're traveling. Maybe you're working. Whatever you're doing, if you're looking for ways to cope ahead for the holiday season, Episode 8 of House on Fire touches upon DBT's Emotion Regulation skill of coping ahead, and provides additional DBT-SUD skills like the three states of mind and dialectical abstinence. An episode packed with, as always, a little bit of cheeky humor, playfulness, and some clinician vulnerability.
