Content Advisory: Brief mention of suicidal ideation

Dr. Jesse Finkelstein (he/him) has been on his own non-linear journey to find his purpose. He is a graphic designer, an illustrator, a game designer, a co-founder... And as of April 2023, he is now a clinical psychologist and DBT therapist. On his path, he has found so much freedom in being able to accept his emotions. To feel everything fully. DBT is not meant to make people feel like they have to ignore, to numb, to silence their emotions.

In this episode, Jesse and I chat about:

• What inspired Jesse to become a DBT therapist?
• How did DBT become an evidence-based treatment for BPD?
• Why are patients with BPD generally less responsive to CBT compared to DBT?
• What is THE Dialectic that DBT is talking about?
• What does it actually mean to build a life worth living?
• What are the different modules included in DBT?
• What does it mean to tolerate our distressing emotions?
• What are the different ways patients can access DBT?
• What are some problems DBT has when it comes to helping patients retain the skills?
• What solution does TheraHive aim to bring to the DBT world?
• How does it feel to witness a client's progress in therapy?
• Bonus: Jesse's TOP 5 FAV DBT SKILLS 🌱💟
