Hello, hello. On this week’s episode of The Manqué, our darling Mary Stathos gave us a run-down of some key dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) basics. There were so many acronyms!

We promised you we’d provide you with notes, and we — and by we, I mean Mary — delivered. For your screenshotting pleasure, here are all the terms she explained during her introductory deep dive.

We wish you the best of luck in your quest for distress tolerance and emotional regulation.

Peep the episode below, if you haven’t already. Cheers!
