Diana Partington (@sufferingoptional), author of DBT for Life, discusses her personal journey with dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and the importance of accessible DBT skills. She highlights that DBT is not just for individuals with borderline personality disorder (BPD), but for anyone who experiences intense emotions and really just all people. 

DBT for life is a wonderful and unique guide to DBT skills, featuring color illustrations, short stories, and straightforward language to make the content accessible and engaging. 

Throughout the conversation, Laurie and Diana explore the experiences and challenges faced by individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) and other highly sensitive people (or Super Feelers). The concept of being a Super Feeler emphasizes the positive aspects of heightened emotions and the potential for increased compassion, creativity, and intuition and resonates with both Laurie and Diana.
