Breaking Down the first half of the 'DEAR MAN' Skill

The DEAR MAN skill was the first thing I learned in the Partial Hospitalization program. This is one of the pivotal skills on my Mental Health journey.

By learning how to fix issues the instant they arise, the more you open yourself to happiness with those close to you.

Let me know whether or not you guys want me to do Will & Grace instead.
