In episode 40, I share with you a special acronym that you can begin using today to combat stressful moments in your life. This is a technique therapists use in sessions with clients from a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) approach. All this means is that it is a technique to help people manage stress and overwhelm. I breakdown the acronym "IMPROVE the moment" for you by using each letter as a coping strategy. The brain loves quick memory recall and this technique helps you recall one of the seven coping strategies by using the acronym to help you in the moment. Sister friend grab your pen and journal, go for a walk, do whatever feels good to you while you tune into this episode and takeaway some gems on your healing journey now with me!
