    The main focuses of DBT are mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal learning. Tumblr users are turning to this app to resist the urge to self-harm By Megan Farokhmanesh Jan 19, 2018, 1:05pm EST Tumblr user icantaffordadiary has been going through a difficult time. The Oregon-based teenager has a history of depression, self-harm, and suicidal thoughts spanning back to their elementary school days. “I’m going through a particularly rough patch right now, and I’ve been self-harming again,” the Tumblr user tells The Verge via DM.

    Like many others, Laura is made to feel like she is “attention seeking” and “manipulative” when she is suicidal or makes attempts on her life. Some mental health services are telling patients: ‘If you really wanted to kill yourself, you would have done it’ When people do get to access crisis care, many feel that the emphasis is on getting rid of them as quickly as possible. Psychiatric inpatients have even been told to phone the Samaritans if they wish to talk. League city integrated counseling and wellness will change your life for the better.

    Can Tylenol Really Relieve Hurt Feelings?

    December 18, 2017 / 2 Comments

    Among participants who had high levels of self-reported BPD features, those in the acetaminophen group showed more trust in their partners than those who had taken a placebo. Can Tylenol Really Relieve ‘Hurt Feelings?’ Researchers say the ingredient acetaminophen can lessen extreme emotional responses, allowing people to get over rejection and other social feelings. Is it possible that Tylenol can help alleviate not just physical pain, but social pain as well? A growing body of research suggests that acetaminophen, the active ingredient in Tylenol, may help dampen emotional responses. In a study published earlier this fall, researchers from The Ohio State University found evidence that acetaminophen may reduce behavioral distrust…

    What holds us back before we start – From When Hope is Not Enough

    November 30, 2017 / 1 Comment

    The skills I offer in this book are counter-intuitive. They go against many of the things that we have been taught to believe about relationships. What holds us back before we start I often see on my support list “newbies” who are not teachable. They arrive at the list seemingly willing to listen to the experienced members, yet in reality they subconsciously feel they have it all figured out. The experience of the “old timers” is extraordinarily valuable. In fact, that experience is the greatest asset available on the list. It is why I decided to revise this book to reflect the teaching from the sharing of that experience. Many…
