Today's solo episode is all about how to maintain your mental health (aka avoid making your mental health WORSE) during times when you're struggling! We discuss the background on why keeping your mental health at a net neutral is effective from a DBT perspective and then dive into coping mechanisms and skills you can use to prevent your mental health from getting worse in the short AND long-term. These skills include the STOP, TIPP, distraction, and riding the wave skills as well as the radical acceptance, cope ahead, and accumulating positives skills. This episode is a MUST LISTEN if you struggle with maladaptive coping skills and are looking for manageable ways to keep your mental health from deteriorating during difficult times.
