  • Incredibly helpful

    This podcast has helped me so much!! I discovered it when I was going through an incredibly difficult time and the combination of humor and skills kept me moving forward.

    There was a period of time during COVID when the sound quality wasn’t great, and they are doing new and updated episodes on those skills. If you are struggling with listening to them, check to see if they have redone the topic yet or move past for now.

    I recommend listening to this podcast to everyone. It’s comforting and g... more

  • I love this podcast!

    And only wish I had the idea to find a DBT podcast sooner. I saw other people’s reviews about the audio, but I haven’t noticed any issues for myself. I really enjoy that it’s more of a lighthearted podcast. There are plenty of ways to learn about DBT without fun and laughter, so I love that Kate and Michelle share this fantastic information while letting their personalities shine through!

  • Makes the book make sense

    I’ve recently completed DBT certification and I was getting so overwhelmed. I keep reading and re-reading ML’s manual and I’ve been having trouble planning and determining how/when to teach certain skills. Listening to your podcasts has helped me understand the modules in a way that helps me integrate the training into my practice more smoothly and explain skills to clients in ways they understand. I’m feeling so much more confident in my ability to teach these skills.

    Thank you <3

Q & A Episode 71
Q: How do I best manage my distress in the moment, stick to my values and still keep my job?
Use paced breathing and mindfulness to manage distress. The 'FAST' skill is essential for communication aligned with personal values, while 'COPE AHEAD' can prepare one for handling authority figures effectively.
Q & A Episode 71
Q: What advice does everyone have for moments when you are so angry or hurt that you think about the tools, but can't bring yourself to even want to try and use them?
It does take practice—much more than one might think. Even those immersed in DBT struggle to apply skills consistently. Acknowledgment of wanting to use the skills is a significant first step towards learning.
Mega Q & A Episode 1
Q: Can I use DBT skills on my own without a therapist?
Yes, while it's beneficial to have therapist guidance, self-study can be effective with the right resources, but it may not provide the same depth as therapy or group work.
Mega Q & A Episode 1
Q: How can I manage overwhelming emotions after a conversation with my partner?
Recognizing that you can do bad things and still be a good person can help. Emphasize mindfulness and self-compassion to process feelings more effectively.

Q: What skills can I use to deal with loneliness, boredom, and irritability on a daily basis?
