This week’s Streaming Saturday is a little different—less entertainment, more nourishment. I want to share a resource that has been one of the most life-changing supports in both my personal healing and my “comeback chapter.”
Many of you may not know that I completed a multi-week, psychoeducational group on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) back in the summer of 2013—my final year of graduate school. I didn’t realize at the time just how deeply those skills would travel with me. Over the years, I’ve circled back to DBT again and again—especially during the seasons where life felt heavier than my coping toolbox could hold. Those skills became anchors, reminders, and eventually… a way forward.
So when I stumbled upon the “DBT & Me” podcast, it felt like a full-circle moment.
Why This Podcast? Why Now?
Hosted by two mental health therapists, Kate and Michelle, the DBT & Me podcast breaks down DBT skills in accessible, human, real-world language. Their energy is relatable, positive, and surprisingly calming—almost like sitting in on a group session, but with friends who “get it.”
I just wrapped up the first mindfulness episodes, and wow… they were the refresher I didn’t know I needed. Mindfulness is the foundation of DBT, and hearing it through their voices felt grounding. No clinical jargon overload, no pressure—just gentle reminders and real application.
Their YouTube description sums up their mission well:
“DBT can improve depression, anxiety, borderline personality disorder, and other mental health struggles… Whether you’ve never heard of DBT before or are experienced with DBT skills, we’re here to help you learn and use DBT skills in your daily life.”
Exactly that.
Why I’m Sharing This With You
Because we’re all navigating something.
Because coping isn’t always intuitive.
Because emotional regulation is a life skill, not a diagnosis.
And because sometimes, the most powerful “streaming” is the kind that fills your mind and heart—not just your background noise.
