DBT & Me

Michelle is joined by therapist Diana Ramirez who shares her incredible story of coming to the United States from Honduras when she was 13 as an unaccompanied minor. Having no idea what DBT was, she can look back now at her past and see how she was using DBT skills along the way to help her overcome the obstacles she was facing. She shares DBT skills that can be useful for other immigrants and talks about how she uses DBT personally for herself and professionally with her clients. TRIGGER WARNING: Material that may be triggering is discussed from 12:06 to 12:41 and 15:17-16:34. Want to learn more about Diana?
