DIALECTICAL BEHAVIOR THERAPY SKILLS WORKBOOK: CHAPTER 1 

Basic Distress Tolerance Skills

“These skills will help you endure and cope with your pain in a new, healthier way so that it doesn’t lead to suffering. The new plan outlined in these two chapters will teach you to ‘distract, relax, and cope.’

The first distress tolerance skills you’ll learn in this chapter will help you distract yourself from the situations that are causing you emotional pain. Distraction skills are important because (1) they can temporarily stop you from thinking about your pain and, as a result, (2) they give you time to find an appropriate coping response….Distraction can help you let go of the pain by helping you think about something else. Distraction also buys you time so that your emotions can settle down before you take action to deal with a distressing situation.

The second group of distress tolerance skills you’ll learn in this chapter are self-soothing skills (Johnson, 1985; Linehan, 1993b). It’s often necessary to soothe yourself before you face the cause of your distress because your emotions might be too ‘hot.’ Many people with overwhelming emotions panic when faced with an argument, rejection, failure, or other painful events….In situations like these, distress tolerance skills are similar to refilling the gas in your car so that you can keep going. Self-soothing is meant to bring you some amount of peace and relief from your pain so that you can figure out what you’re going to do next.”

I want people around because I’m a wreck and upset and it would feel nice to talk to people but I also think that all the bullshit I have is too heavy to make other people carry too so I just kind of sit here and suffer by myself out of respect for other people’s ability to tolerate

I feel like in the universe where they fuck, like... it's definitely an even split between these really passionate ethereal marathon lovemaking sessions and the two of them being complete idiots about what sexy things human bodies can do. They've had these bodies (or bodies like them) for six thousand years and have NEVER found a position that really works for them. Someone gets a cramp, someone comes in someone else's eye, it's BAD, but they KEEP DOING IT.

OH ABSOLUTELY

The incredibly horny good omens is a WILDLY funny concept to me holy shit, I love them and their relationship very much but nobody wants to spend half the show watching them fuck

RIGHT THOUGH

Like, don’t get me wrong, I like a good horny GO fic as much as the next guy, and write a good deal of it, but the idea of a SHOW? Being like that? Oh my God, incredibly cursed! No one wants to see that on television!

Big time cursed!

Like, remember, this bit:

Oh, just remember!

Just remember what Brother Francis looks like!

I honestly can’t decide what would be funnier and more cursed. The idea of Crowley and Aziraphale fucking a lot, and really going in for the marathon fucking, exhausting one another, and in general very obviously satisfying one another, or the idea of Aziraphale and Crowley having incredibly weird and humorously odd sex that kinda implies that despite apparently having a lot of it, they’re not clear on what it involves.

Probably a mix of both!

aziraphale’s belly… round… soft… warm… got some soft hair dusting it… always forgets he’s meant to have a bellybutton so there’s like, a slight spot where it should be but no actual navel… crowley, face mashed AGAINST said belly, softly hissing in between snores

Just finished reading Good Omens and I cannot believe how much it reads like a Douglas Adams book.

It even has those staple characters he has: Newt, the Arthur Dent character, Anathema, the Trillian character, Crowley, the Ford character. I’m using the hitchhiker’s guide but these characters exist in more or less all his books.

But anyway, it was great and I think I might have to read it again immediately just to wrap my head round it. Which, by the way, is very Douglas Adams.
