    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!

    The A in PLEASE: The Neurobiology of the Addicted Brain

    In this episode of Wise Mind: A DBT Podcast, we tackle the “A” in PLEASE skills—Avoid mood-altering substances with curiosity, compassion, and a little humor. Instead of zooming in only on drugs and alcohol, we take a big-picture, Marsha Linehan–style look at addiction, including anything we use to numb out, escape, or emotionally duct-tape ourselves together. We talk about emotional regulation and that familiar inner voice saying, “Okay… get your shit together.” Spoiler alert: it’s not that simple. Using the disease model of addiction, we explain what’s actually going on in the addicted brain, why cravings feel so intense, and why stopping is hard, even when you really, really want to. This episode kicks off our deeper dive into the neurobiology of addiction, breaking down how the brain’s reward system gets hijacked and why willpower alone rarely works. We also bring the hope: recovery is real. We share solid stats, including a 75% recovery rate, and introduce a self-assessment tool to help you figure out your own risk level. If you’ve ever wondered why your brain does what it does and how DBT skills can help you work with it instead of yelling at it or shaming it, this episode is for you. 🎧 Want to know the best way to support us and help us to keep providing free content?!

    The E in PLEASE Skills and the Science of Habit Formation

    In this episode Maddy and Raich continue their deep dive into emotional regulation and the DBT PLEASE skills, with a special focus on the “E” — Exercise. Often the least favourite of the PLEASE skills, exercise is also one of the most pivotal tools for long-term emotional fire prevention. Yes we know, its not the answer you want but the one you need to hear! We explore both the science and the art of exercise, why starting is often the hardest part, and why waiting for motivation usually keeps us stuck. Instead, we unpack how action comes first and motivation follows. You’ll also hear us break down the “fancy” concept of habits:What habits really are, what the science tells us about habit formation, and how neural pathways play a powerful role in creating lasting change. Whether you’re just getting started or trying to build consistency, this episode offers practical insights to help you move toward better emotional balance , one small step at a time. 🎧 Tune in on Apple Podcasts and Spotify👍 Like, comment, and subscribe to continue supporting Wise Mind DBT Podcast Contact us :  wisemindcollective.com.au Or Instagram + Facebook - Wisemind DBT Podcast Crisis Support This space may include discussions that bring up strong emotions or difficult topics.
