In this episode of The Impulsive Thinker, we dive into the world of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) with the renowned expert Dr. Alexandra Philipsen.  We discuss the application of DBT in the context of adult ADHD.  From the core components of DBT to the importance of self-validation and acceptance, this episode provides crucial insights into how DBT can be a transformative treatment for individuals dealing with ADHD and other mental health challenges.  Tune in to gain a deeper understanding of DBT and its potential impact on mental well-being. 1.       DBT involves learning skills that validate feelings and enable effective communication of needs, thus promoting self-respect and self-confidence. 2.     DBT aids in unlearning protective behaviours and gaining an understanding of their underlying triggers, with an emphasis on acceptance and explanation rather than excuses. 3.     The listener is encouraged to consider DBT a valuable personal growth and self-improvement approach. "Have you considered DBT?"  We highly recommend it as a valuable strategy for personal development. This conversation serves as an insightful exploration of the benefits and applicability of DBT in addressing emotional dysregulation, particularly in individuals with ADHD. This discussion sheds light on the significance of validation, acceptance, and skills acquisition in promoting effective emotional management and interpersonal effectiveness.
