Therapist and relationship expert Abby Medcalf shares that the best ways to get to the other side of a life-shattering experience are to key in your ability to resist urges that take you away from what you want and train your attention to be in the moment, via mindfulness. 1. never respond right away to text or phone. 2. set your alarm to bring yourself back to present and be in the moment. Abby learned these techniques in the wake of enduring heroin addiction and recovery.
