  • Great but awkward…

    I love the show and I appreciate deeply what they’re teaching. However, I’m constantly drawn out by the LOUD fake laughter and weird vocal tics. Idk, it’s just kind of distracting but otherwise good.

  • 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!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

DBT and Neurodivergence with Sarah Mireles
Q: So on that note, what emotion regulation strategies or skills, I mean, could be classic DBT skills or otherwise. But what do you find tends to be most helpful for neurodivergent of individuals that does help them emotionally regulate?
Sarah recommends sensory-based self-soothing, the 5-4-3-2-1 exercise, temperature-based TIP skills, movement and stretching, and progressive muscle relaxation. When someone is regulated enough, RO-DBT self-inquiry can also help them approach change with more openness.
DBT and Neurodivergence with Sarah Mireles
Q: For you, what challenges have you seen neurodivergent individuals face when they are trying to use DBT skills? If they're trying to use DBT without making adjustments, what makes that hard for people who are neurodivergent?
Sarah says that memory and recall difficulties, impulsivity, and sensitivity to external stimuli can make it difficult to remember and use skills during distress. She suggests building systems and involving supportive people to help skills come to mind.
Q & A Episode 75
Q: How can someone apply radical acceptance to a lifetime of uncertain events, not just a single incident?
Recognize that radical acceptance is an ongoing process; focus on what can be controlled in each moment, name the fears clearly, and adjust expectations as life unfolds rather than aiming for a one-time resolution.
Q & A Episode 75
Q: What resources exist outside this podcast for DBT related to Bipolar or OCD?
Explore RODBT as an alternative, look for books like Dialectical Behavior Skills Therapy Workbook for Bipolar Disorder, and consider media like This Is Bipolar podcast; also consider a therapist well-versed in DBT for tailored guidance.
Q & A Episode 75
Q: How was the hosts' educational journey to become therapists?
