We discuss the background on why keeping your mental health at a net neutral is effective from a DBT perspective and then dive into coping mechanisms and skills you can use to prevent your mental health from getting worse in the short AND long-term. These skills include the STOP, TIPP, distraction, and riding the wave skills as well as the radical acceptance, cope ahead, and accumulating positives skills.
