DBTSkills : Distress Tolerance.
HALT is a preventive Distress Tolerance skill in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) used to reduce vulnerability to intense emotions and impulsivity.

It is an acronym for Hungry, Angry, Lonely, or Tired, acting as a self-check to address physical or emotional needs before reacting in a crisis.

H.A.L.T. (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) is primarily associated with Alcoholics Anonymous (AA).

DBT Therapists sometimes informally incorporate it into DBT because it fits well with DBT concepts like:

Emotion regulation

Reducing vulnerability to emotional dysregulation

Self-care and body awareness.

Who doesn't love a pizza? Here is a budget friendly recipe that you can find ingredients for at your local store or food pantry.
"one of your favorites from childhood"

Serves 4 | Prep Time 10 minutes | Cook Time 15 minutes
Why I Love This Recipe
A favorite to bring you a little bit of home to your new place.

Ingredients You'll Need
12 frozen rhodes dinner rolls
24 slices pepperoni/ham
1/2 cup of favorite vegetables
2 cups shredded Mozzarella cheese
1 cup pizza sauce

Directions
Thaw rolls according to directions on the package.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
After the rolls are thawed (but not risen), stretch out each roll and lay it flat on a greased cookie sheet.
Spoon a small amount of pizza sauce onto each roll. Top with a small handful of shredded cheese, and two pepperonis.
Fold the dough over the toppings and pinch the edges together. Try to not have any holes in your dough, as your cheese will melt out of it.
Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until golden brown. Let cool a few minutes before serving.
