Episode description

My new therapist and I discover I'm struggling with distressing thoughts about abandonment. The more distressed I get, the less I'm able to problem solve. So, this week, I focus on how to bring that distress down with the IMPROVE skill. I practice some imagery, some relaxation, and more!
