Ever notice that your interpretations of a situation, rather than the facts, can lead to strong negative emotions? Ever notice the manifestation of that adage 'Compare and Despair!' in your own life? Episode 10 is all about DBT's Emotion Regulation Skill — Check the Facts! Get out your magnifying glasses and join us at 221B Baker Street for some detective work on our thoughts, especially as we head into the holidays and the new year. We're also talking The White Lotus, Titanique, and, as always, a little homework review from last month.
