Your Emotions Are Not the Problem — Niki Saks on How DBT Gives You the Tools to Actually Work With Them

Dialectical Behaviour Therapy was originally developed for people in crisis. What therapists discovered along the way is that its core skills — managing intense emotions, tolerating distress without making things worse, communicating in ways that strengthen rather than damage relationships — are useful for almost everyone. Niki Saks has spent years helping people implement DBT practices in their everyday lives, and she joins Stacey Chillemi to break down what this therapy actually offers beyond the clinical setting. What she shares about the specific techniques that help you regulate your emotions in real time rather than being swept along by them, why so many relationship conflicts are really emotional management problems in disguise, and how building DBT skills into your daily life creates the kind of inner stability that makes every other area of your life function better will give you a genuinely practical and accessible introduction to one of the most evidence-based approaches to emotional well-being available. You do not need to be in crisis to benefit from this. You just need to want to handle what comes at you better than you currently do. This episode shows you how to start.
