Whether it's watching the news or reading status updates/articles on social media, it's impossible to avoid the influx of news stories and media that we are constantly surrounded by. With some recent stories in the news that have been challenging to hear, Kate and Michelle each choose a DBT skill from each module and share how that skill can be helpful when consuming media.

Learning DBT skills takes time and practice to truly understand and integrate what the skills actually look like in our lives. Kate and Michelle each discuss three DBT skills they once misunderstood. They explain their former belief about each skill compared to their current understanding. Kate chose wise mind, mindfulness and check the facts while Michelle chose PLEASE, GIVE and being non-judgmental.

It's time for a re-do! When Kate and Michelle first recorded this episode, it was during COVID which resulted in poor sound quality as they adjusted to recording virtually.

In this special re-recorded episode, they explain opposite action all over again, providing new personal examples to help explain the skill.
