    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.

In this episode of Wise Mind: A DBT Podcast, Raich and Maddy sit down with Dr. Salena Justice, our podcast specialist in all things autism. Salena is a psychologist from the US who specialises in working alongside autistic adults, particularly those with high-masking presentations, providing assessment and support.

In this episode we explore what masking is and the hidden costs that can come with it, as well as some of the strengths and challenges autistic people may experience. We also discuss the overlap with other diagnoses and how clinicians can use DBT, and more importantly neuro-affirming DBT skills, to better support autistic individuals.

    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.

    Interpersonal Effectiveness: Boundaries, Not Just Fences

    In this episode of Wise Mind: A DBT Podcast, Raich and Maddy dive into one of the most requested DBT skills: Interpersonal Effectiveness. After hearing your messages and questions, we explore why this skill is so important for emotional wellbeing and healthy relationships. We break down the three core DBT goals of interpersonal effectiveness , getting what you want, maintaining relationships, and preserving your self-respect and discuss the common barriers that get in the way, including people-pleasing, fear of conflict, guilt, and emotional overwhelm. Then we shift into a deep dive on boundaries - what they are, what they aren’t, and why they matter. We introduce different boundary types and boundary styles, helping you understand your own patterns before you begin setting clearer limits. Think of this as laying the foundation and “nailing the posts into your fence” before building it. If you’ve ever struggled to say no, felt resentment creep into relationships, or questioned whether your boundaries are reasonable, this episode is for you. 🎧 Tune in now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and don’t forget to like, follow, and share to support the show!

    Non-judgmentalness: Can You Teach an Old Critic New Tricks?

    In this episode of the Wise Mind DBT Podcast, we explore the mindfulness concept of judgment and non-judgmentalness—and ask the big question: is it even possible? We dive into why our brains are naturally critical and judgmental, how these thoughts and beliefs developed to keep us safe, and the different types of judgments we make every day. Most importantly, we share skills to notice and start changing this pattern. Yes, we’re not DBT purists, but we explore these skills in our own way, through the art of defusion, making mindfulness practical, accessible, and maybe even a little fun. 🎧 Tune in now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify✨ Follow, comment, and like us to help keep free DBT content and resources coming your way!

    Pleasant on Purpose

    In this episode of the Wise Mind: A DBT Podcast, we explore the ABC skills, the core DBT skills for building pleasant emotions on purpose. We break down Accumulating Positive Events, why positive emotions don’t just “happen,” and how intentionally creating them reduces emotional vulnerability. We also explore Building Mastery and Values, and why these skills aren’t optional extras but essential for building a life worth living. Using the metaphor of a lighthouse, we frame values as the steady light that guides us back to Wise Mind, especially when emotions or urges try to pull us off course. We also dive into the idea of alpha values and share a bit about our own. Raich and Maddy explore how a “spoonful” of daily positive events, mastery, and values-based actions can create a purposeful life—one where we get to show up as our most authentic selves. 🎧 Tune in now on Apple Podcasts and Spotify✨ Like, comment, follow, and share to support the show and so we can continue to provide you free skills!
