    The Power of Repair

    In this episode, Raich and Maddy explore the importance of making a repair in relationships. We all make mistakes, it’s part of being human. What matters most is how we respond afterward. The episode discusses why repairing after conflict or mistakes is essential for building healthy, effective relationships. Raich and Maddy explore why some people tend to over-repair, frequently apologising even when it may not be necessary, while others under-repair and avoid apologising altogether. As they explain, all behaviour is functional, meaning these patterns often serve a purpose or develop as ways people try to cope, protect themselves, or maintain relationships. The conversation also highlights the potential costs of both over- and under-repairing, including misunderstandings, resentment, or weakened connections. Making a repair often requires vulnerability, as it involves acknowledging mistakes, taking responsibility, and opening up to another person. However, this vulnerability can also strengthen relationships by fostering trust, connection, and understanding. Throughout the episode, Raich and Maddy share practical case examples and discuss how these repair processes often appear in therapy sessions. They emphasise that learning to repair is a skill that improves with practice.

    Re-Release: Mindfulness — The Kool-Aid We All Must Drink

    Happy Easter, Passover—or however you’re marking this season 🌿 WISE MIND is taking a short break, so we’re revisiting one of our earlier (and favourite) episodes: Mindfulness — the Kool-Aid we all must drink… or at least die trying. In this episode, Raich and Maddy dive into the delightful paradox of mindfulness. Why does something that promises so much clarity and calm feel so hard to actually do? Raich compares it to “drinking the mindfulness Kool-Aid”—but what are we really buying into? We explore: The dialectic between mindfulness and mindlessnessThe constant tug-of-war between past, present, and futureThe science behind mindfulness (because who doesn’t love a brainy breakdown?)We break down the three core mind states developed by Marsha M. Linehan: Emotion MindReasonable MindWise MindAnd here’s the key takeaway: there are no “bad” mind states—just effective and ineffective ways of responding. (Your move.) We also get practical (and a little cheeky), exploring everyday ways to practice mindfulness—including yes… mindfully going to the bathroom (WHAT THE HELLY! – Maddy). Finally, we talk about how to cultivate Wise Mind—that sweet spot of balanced awareness—to help you navigate daily life with more clarity, resilience, and intention.

    2 GIVE is 2 Get: The Secret to Relationship Effectiveness

    In this episode of Wise Mind: A DBT Podcast, Maddy and Raich explore the idea that you catch more bees with honey or as Raich jokes, flies. This saying leads into a discussion of the DBT GIVE skill, a key part of relationship effectiveness. GIVE focuses on how we communicate in ways that strengthen and maintain relationships while still allowing us to express our needs and wants. Throughout the episode, Maddy and Raich break down what GIVE looks like in everyday life and how small shifts in the way we approach others can make a big difference in connection. They discuss how being gentle, showing interest, validating others, and using an easy manner can help conversations feel safer, more respectful, and more collaborative. We also explore how these skills can be especially helpful when building new relationships, whether that’s friendships, work connections, or other important relationships in our lives. As always, the conversation blends practical DBT skills with real-life examples, helping listeners think about how they might apply GIVE in their own interactions.

    The DEAR MAN Skill: Clear Is Kind

    In this episode, we jump into the famous DBT skill we all know and love called DEAR MAN . The foundation of assertive communication. This skill is all about learning how to ask for what you need clearly, calmly, and effectively, without guilt, aggression, or people-pleasing. Before breaking down the steps of DEAR MAN, we explore what assertiveness truly is, and what it isn’t. Assertiveness isn’t being demanding or confrontational, and it’s not staying silent to keep the peace. It’s about communicating with clarity and respect, while staying connected to your Wise Mind. We walk through each part of the DEAR MAN framework and explain how to apply it in real-life situations so you can increase your chances of getting your needs met . This skill helps you feel more confident the next time you need to make a request, set a boundary, or say no.

    I Can’t Say No!!

    In this episode of Wise Mind DBT, we dive deep into The Yes Trap. Why is it so hard to say no? Why does saying yes feel automatic, even when it costs us? We explore how people-pleasing often isn’t a flaw, but a survival strategy. For many of us, saying yes wasn’t a conscious choice, it was functional, protective, and necessary early in life. We unpack how choosing connection over authenticity can become wired into us from a young age. Drawing on the work of Gabor Maté, we explore the powerful tension between attachment and authenticity and why, as children, connection often had to come first. But what are the long-term costs of living “yes-trapped”? We talk about how chronic self-abandonment can impact mental health, relationships, and even contribute to long-term physical health issues. If you’ve ever struggled to set boundaries, felt guilty saying no, or found yourself exhausted from overcommitting , this episode is for you. 🎧 Tune in now on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.Like, comment, and follow to support us so we can keep bringing these conversations to you for free.
