  • A great complement to a DBT Skills Class

    S someone do has been being treated in DBT for over a year, I find this podcast extremely helpful. It goes further on the skills, helps me generalize them more and find appropriate applications of them more than just taking a DBT class has. I only wish he hadn’t stopped as there are topics I would have loved his perspective on, like opposite action.

  • Bring back Nicole!

    I’m so disappointed that Nicole is not present in recent episodes. Her warm intelligence and compassion are missed. She brought the show to life.

  • Words of Wisdom

    I’m so grateful I found this podcast with Charlie and Nicole. I’m working my way through all of them. Whether you know a lot about DBT or are new to the topic, this podcast is a gift. You can learn about DBT from Dr. Charlie Swenson, a master therapist. His conversations and role plays with Nicole enrich the learning. I especially loved the role the “session” when Nicole played a patient struggling with narcissism. Thank you for this amazing opportunity to learn and grow.

  • Great podcast!

    I really love Nicole’s voice and perspective on the show, my favorite episode by far is Identity Grammar. Listening made me feel seen and understood in a ways nothing else ever has.

    Stimulating & Fascinating! Charlie & Nicole explore topics that we consciously or subconsciously struggle with every day- helping to define and refine these thoughts. I come away from the episodes with a greater understanding of self and a greater understanding of those around me.
