On Air with Ella - podcast episode 395 {replay}
This is not medical advice. Consult your own practitioner.
We want to change our habits, we often know what to do...
But we don't change our behavior.
How can we really enact the changes we want for ourselves?
DBT might be the way.
In this episode, Maddy Ellberger shares how Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) works to help us break unhealthy cycles and create the life - and the habits - we want.
From over-drinking, over-spending, over-eating, over-working (all the overs!) to anxiety of all sorts, to under-performing/exercising/caring for ourselves (all the unders!)... we talk about DBT tools that can be applied to ANY lifestyle change we want to make.
"When we get overwhelmed, it usually means we feel like we can't take care of everything, and then we run away from it."
Dialectical thinking allows that two opposing truths can exist at the same time.
At its core, DBT helps people build four major skills:
Mindfulness
Distress tolerance
Interpersonal effectiveness
Emotional regulation
In this episode:
What is Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)?
Asking ourselves: What is the function of the behavior?
Engaging in emotionally activating content when we need to stop spiraling / fixating
Building and engaging distress tolerance
Managing social anxiety (and anxiety at large) through DBT
Ella’s current challenge: consuming instead of creating
Creating an action and accountability plan
Avoidance behavior and its function
“Coping ahead” and distress tolerance
Dialectical thinking and our desire for validation
The goal of DBT is to build a life worth living!
