About this listen

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) was created by a woman named Marsha Linehan in the 1980s. The skills she created are now taught all over the world. DBT can improve depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and other mental health struggles. We are Kate and Michelle, two mental health therapists in Seattle, WA. We have been teaching DBT groups as a team for years. Whether you've never heard of DBT before or are experienced with DBT skills, this podcast is here to help you use DBT skills in your daily life.© 2025 DBT & Me Hygiene & Healthy Living Personal Development Personal Success Psychology Psychology & Mental Health Science Social Sciences

  • Using Skills We Struggle With
    Jun 25 2025

    Kate and Michelle are passionate about normalizing that there will inevitably be DBT skills that aren't a good fit for everyone and that you're not going to like every skill. In this episode, they each open up about 3 skills that they struggle to use and/or dislike. They went outside of their comfort zone to intentionally use each skill recently and they discuss what those experiences were like. They also share some suggestions for how you can successfully do the same in your own life with skills you struggle with.

    TRIGGER WARNING: Material that may be triggering is discussed from 11:02-11:11 and 15:33-15:40.
