How DBT Helps with BPD and Anxiety: My Interview on Boy Meets Therapy

Podcast Feature: Talking DBT, Anxiety, and the Truth About BPD

I recently joined Dustin Oliver, host of Boy Meets Therapy, for a conversation about something I care deeply about—how Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) can truly help people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, intense emotions, and the challenges of living with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Breaking It Down: DBT, BPD, and Anxiety

This conversation covered a lot of ground—from how DBT works in everyday life to what it's like to live with BPD. Some of the key topics we explored include: We covered a lot in this episode, including:

• What DBT really looks like in practice (not just acronyms and worksheets)

• How DBT helps manage anxiety, panic, and emotional dysregulation

• The impact of trauma on the nervous system

• Misconceptions about BPD—and what recovery can actually look like

• Support for friends and family who want to help, but don’t know how

I also shared more about my personal journey into becoming a DBT therapist in Philadelphia, and why working with individuals with BPD is so meaningful to me.
