DBT Weekly

This is a mental health therapy and skills development podcast designed to help listeners improve their ability to regulate emotion, reduce problem behaviors and learn new, skillful behaviors. This is all based on the Dialectical Behavior Therapy treatment model! Prepare for zigging and zagging, simply because life will do that, and we can choose how to respond – wisely!

Try to remember that all behavior is caused, and working to find why it happened, rather than resorting to blame or judgment 🙂 Let’s look at how behavior in our own lives and others has been reinforced. Positive and Negative don’t mean good or bad in this skill set. It’s about adding or taking away! Adding a “reward” (even if it’s not effective) is positive. Removing pain or providing relief is a negative reinforcer!

Also, my asthma is rough today! Thanks for listening!

PS Dialectics is incompatible with blame!!!! Be an effective project! 😀
