Hear from Carol as she reads her poem, In Less Than a Day, which inspired a play by the same name from Erasing the Distance, a Chicago theater company. In this interview, Carol talks about the excruciating pain she endured from a surgery prompted her to remember her father's death from a brain tumor. In facing stressful circumstances--multitasking lupus and bipolar disorder--Carol has used tools from DBT, or Dialectical Behavioral Therapy. She will discuss "opposite reaction" and "living in the moment," and how we can use these tools in our own lives. Interested in seeing In Less Than a Day on Monday, June 25, 2012?
