Have you ever had thumbs on fire? A desire, so strongly, to text or to email or to post — perhaps something that might not be aligned with your long term, wise mind goals? This month's episode explores Pros and Cons, Adaptive Denial, and Alternate Rebellion through the lens of social media use. Join House on Fire as we chat through these three skills, a heaping ton of recently published social media-oriented literature, Kimmy Schmidt, and Adele Dazeem.

STOP in the Name of Love

Ever find yourself in the midst of an argument or heated exchange with a loved one and wondering — how did we even get here? What are we even talking about right now? Join clinicians at Behavioral Psych Studio as we discuss DBT's STOP skill, a distress tolerance skill that provides space for pausing in the heat of the moment, taking a step back, and proceeding mindfully. As The Supremes sang, "STOP in the Name of Love!"

There's No Place Like Home for the Holidays?

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.
