Hey everyone, it's Thanksgiving week. Time for episode 232. Will & TPP are taking a break and this is the first of some special reissues of older AGP episodes. We did a series highlighting Dialectical Behavior Therapy severeal years ago. We are going to share these episodes with you. Hope you enjoy.

This week on Above Ground Podcast Will and Tim start their self care September with an overview of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This form of therapy was developed by Marsha Linehan, to originally help people with Borderline Personality Disorder. It is incredibly useful for people facing overwhelming emotions. 

DBT for short is a set of four skills;

-Distress Tolerance

-Mindfulness

-Emotional Regulation

-Interpersonal Effectiveness

Like all skills it takes practice and perseverance. You can benefit yourself greatly by learning these skills in managing your emotions. Always talk to a licensed professional.

 This week on episode #231 Will & TPP took a flight across the globe to have a conversation with Jo. 

Jo Rodriguez is a CBT specialist and serving London as a psychologist for more than 14 years.  Some of you may know her from the f#ck it Friday videos and her straight forward advice on mental health. If you don’t… I suggest you better get on it! 

We had a great conversation with Jo about making changes, trauma, integrity and much more, so don’t miss this one!!!

 This week on episode #230 Will & TPP had  the pleasure of speaking with a very special neighbor. Honoring veterans everywhere and with Veterans Day around the corner we thought this conversation with Joni, owner of Operation at ease, would be a perfect way to honor our veterans.  Joni, a fellow veteran herself started Operation At Ease in 2015. What is Operation At Ease you ask?

Operation At Ease takes dogs from shelters, pairs them with deserving veterans and first responders and provides a free guided training program for post traumatic stress and light mobility service dogs. They serve those who have served our country and our community. 

Help Joni and crew to help others, visit www.operationatease.org for more information.
