In spite of her advice to reframe your reactions to negative situations and people only a week ago, Dorothy found herself wallowing in anger and self-pity after a disagreement with her partner. Thankfully the two of them were able to patch up their misunderstanding, but Dorothy felt hypocritical and realized how difficult it can be not to immediately give into your worst feelings when the going gets tough. So with this minisode, she discusses how you can build up your emotional muscle and forgive yourself for the occasional little slip-up.
