WiseMind Episode 1 - Dialectical Dilemmas
Dialectical Behavioral Therapy is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. This type of therapy is centered around helping when you try to apply logical thought to intense emotional reactions and dialectical dilemmas develop. It doesn’t always make sense to apply a logical thought pattern to emotional stimulus because you often find an invalidating response internally and makes the misery of the emotion intensify. Instead practice behaviors that reduce the emotional intensity.

When will there be another podcast?
I am very comforted by your explanation of BPD because I had been very confused and frightened by this diagnosis. As a parent of a teen with BPD is is essential that the whole family understand and this podcast style makes it available to all of us. Thank you.
Way to go Amy! Good information. This is a very good first effort, I know how hard these are to do. I can see why you did not do more, but still great effort. I think doing this sort of this is so helpful. I hope people who are interested would listen to this more than once to get the full picture.
