The second chapter of the book is going better. I think I know what triggered me in that first chapter of the book. I started arguing with it when it listed strategies that cause pain but no physical damage. Those aren't good options for me. I won't stop. I don't get what I want from holding an ice cube, etc. And distraction techniques don't resolve anything or even really engage my attention. The second chapter is also on distress tolerance, but has meditation, visulalization, and relaxation techniques. They take more effort, and feel much more real to me. I'll do much better with the rest of the book, I think.
