In this episode, join Dr. Kirby Reutter as we delve into the heart of dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) – the dilemma of acceptance versus change. Uncover why this balance is critical in treating trauma survivors, who are often torn between the need for validation and the urge to transform their painful experiences. We'll dissect how embracing acceptance and change coexist and synergize in therapeutic settings. Learn about DBT tools and strategies, including mindfulness and distress tolerance for acceptance, and emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness for change. Faculty: Kirby Reutter, Ph.D. Host: Jessica Díaz, M.D. Script Editor: Anderson García, Ph.D.
