When overwhelming emotions threaten to derail recovery progress, the STOP skill offers a powerful pause button. Continuing our #12DaysofRecoverySkills series, we're exploring this distress tolerance technique that helps create space between triggers and reactions. This holiday season, whether faced with unexpected food situations or challenging family dynamics, STOP empowers you to respond rather than react. Our therapists teach this essential DBT skill because it works in real-time, requiring no special setup or quiet space—just a commitment to pause and reset. Think of it as an emotional emergency brake, always there when you need it most. Follow along as we continue sharing practical DBT skills for navigating recovery during the holidays. Need additional support? Our team is here: 1-888-364-5977 #EatingDisorderRecovery #DBTSkills #MentalHealthSupport

Disrupted routines, food-focused gatherings, and heightened emotions can test even the strongest coping strategies during the holiday season. That’s why we're sharing #12DaysofRecoverySkills, starting with Wise Mind. This core DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) concept is one of many skills our therapists teach clients to manage intense emotions and build sustainable recovery strategies. As our guide demonstrates, Wise Mind helps balance acceptance of emotional challenges with commitment to recovery needs. It's not about eliminating difficult feelings, but finding that calm, centered state where both emotions and recovery goals can coexist, especially during holiday challenges. Follow along as we share more DBT skills that support recovery throughout the holidays. Looking for additional support this season?

Regardless of what yesterday looked like for you, your body deserves consistent nourishment and care today. Restriction after holiday celebrations doesn't promote health or healing—it reinforces disordered patterns that can compromise both physical and emotional wellbeing. The Emily Program is here to remind our community: Today and every day, you deserve to eat without shame, guilt, or the burden of compensation. If you or someone you know is struggling to break patterns of disordered eating or compensatory behaviors, please reach out. We're here to support you in finding peace with food and building a sustainable recovery. 🧡 Connect with us at 1-888-364-5977 or online: https://ow.ly/EZsE50UieBE #MentalHealth #EatingDisorderRecovery #SelfCompassion
