Acceptance is the name of the game. I go over what it is and what it isn’t, and how to use the acceptance DBT skill in the middle of extreme emotions – in this case, sadness with an added bonus of a recording of me using the skill while in extreme distress. I also throw in some of the “check the facts” skill.
