Episode Synopsis

In our very first episode, we give a detailed but concise introduction to DBT and explore the foundation of DBT: Mindfulness — but not in the way you might expect. Marlo, your assistant and guide, walks you through what mindfulness really means and how to begin practicing it in everyday moments — no meditation cushion required.
This episode includes two gentle mindfulness exercises and ends with reflective prompts you can bring to your next therapy session.
 
Key Takeaways:

Mindfulness is about awareness, not perfection
Simple, sensory grounding tools can help you stay present
You’re doing the best you can — and you can build new skills, one breath at a time
