'To Hell and Back' shines light on our darkest, most painful, and most overwhelming human experiences.
With unfiltered conversations, vivid role plays, focused teaching, and spacious curiosity, Charlie and Nicoleta use the framework of DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) to help those of us who live in hell learn the skills we need to get ourselves the hell out.
Every week is a fresh invitation to meet our minds, our pain, and all that makes this life worth living with greater understanding and compassion. Every episode, we're reminded that, no matter how bad things get, there are no dead ends in life; however lonely and desperate we may feel, we are not, ever, alone.
