#35: Coping with Pandemic Fatigue

As we pass the year mark of pandemic life, many of us are exhausted and eager to get back to how things used to be. While there are positive developments with vaccination rates rising and case counts lowering in some parts of the world, the finish line is still far away. We need emotional stamina to stay the course and tolerate the limits on daily life that the pandemic imposes. In this episode, Marielle and Ed discuss lots of DBT skills that can help you do this.

DBT Skills Discussed:

• Validation
• Mindfulness of Current Thoughts
• Mindfulness of Current Emotions
• Radical Acceptance
