Self-destructive (or dysregulated) behaviors include behaviors that provide relief and even pleasure in the short-term – but that tend to cause substantial negative consequences over time. In this podcast, Dr. Peggilee Wupperman discusses why some people find certain self-destructive behaviors to be almost-impossible to resist. She then discusses how mindfulness practice, when incorporated into therapy, can help individuals overcome these behaviors and move toward lives that feel more satisfying and fulfilling.
