How to set boundaries when you struggle with People Pleasing

In this episode, I review a number of my favorite skills for tolerating discomfort. These are based off of Marsha Linehan's Distress Tolerance Module in DBT. These skills can be useful for any time of distress, and I am uploading this episode at this time specifically to share some tools for tolerating discomfort around the current COVID-19 pandemic. Website: www.kaylaestenson.comInstagram: KaylaEstensonWellness
