COVID-19: The Great Reveal, Pt 2: Distress

How do you react under stress?  And what does that tell you about your character?  Today Cinthia continues her look at the way the pandemic is revealing things to us about ourselves, our relationships, and our world.  She discusses the concept of distress tolerance as addressed by Dr. Marsha Linehan, as well as some ways to begin strengthening your ability to tolerate distress when necessary without turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms.  She also explores the idea of radical acceptance and emphasizes that acceptance does not have to mean agreement with what is happening.  Discomfort is a part of life, and we all have to work on our responses to it. Join Cinthia to look at strategies for dealing with the discomfort of life instead of making it worse with our reactions.
