In our 3rd part in our series on Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), Meg again joins us. Discover the toolset available to help manage BPD with Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT's core principles, techniques, and applications can be used and included mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and radical acceptance. Critically important is emphasizing the importance of mindfulness as a foundational skill in DBT, serving as a gateway to other techniques.

The "TIP skills" (Temperature, Intense exercise, Paced breathing, and Paired muscle relaxation) as effective tools for quickly reducing physiological arousal during moments of crisis.

Emotion regulation emerges as another crucial component of DBT, focusing on understanding, experiencing, and expressing emotions in healthy ways. Meg explains the concept of "wise mind" and shares practical techniques for modulating emotional intensity, such as paced breathing and opposite action.

Another tool is interpersonal effectiveness, which involves acquiring skills for assertiveness, effective communication, and boundary-setting in relationships. Meg introduces the "DEAR MAN" technique (Describe, Express, Assert, Reinforce, Mindful, Appear confident, Negotiate) as a structured approach to making requests and resolving conflicts respectfully.

Radical acceptance is discussed as a key aspect of distress tolerance, emphasizing the importance of acknowledging and embracing reality, even when it is difficult or painful. Meg and explores how radical acceptance allows individuals to move beyond resistance and toward meaningful change.

These skills and many more, empower individuals to make informed choices, take control of their lives, and cultivate resilience in the face of adversity.

When asked to list essentials or things you can’t live without, food and water are the first things that come up, but there’s one above all that we often overlook: oxygen.

In this extra insightful interview, we have a returning guest: author, hypnotherapist, and breathwork facilitator Fally Klein. Fally has personal experience and a lot of wisdom regarding trauma, resilience, and healing our bodies and souls through different modalities. In fact, we’ve had her for several Hope to Recharge episodes before, with one of our conversations focusing on self-love as the path to healing.

For this episode, we are revisiting the topic of our very first episode with Fally, which focuses on her expertise on breathwork. We first discuss the basics of breathwork: what it is, common misconceptions, its history, and Fally’s personal journey with it. We then delve into the actual process of breathwork, the mindfulness needed, the different methodologies, and how it can affect you positively when properly utilized.

Breathwork is the relationship you have with breath. It reintroduces movement. Breath is life force. It is like a reset button. It is a brilliant system. It is a spirit, it is wise, it is instant. It is a vibration.

Breath is limitless.

In this though provoking episode we hear from Kayla Haber-Goldstein, who recants the untold story told in Midrash Le-Chanuka, of Chana, the daughter of the high priest Matisyahu (מַתִּתְיָהוּ הַכֹּהֵן בֶּן יוֹחָנָן) (~167 BCE) who risked herself and her dignity and set a series of events into motion that began the revolution that is now known as the story of Chanuka. Chana lived her truth and faced those around her, challenging them to do the same. A powerful story worthy of noting lessons learned and implementing into our lives.

Kayla and her husband Rabbi Shmuel Goldstein, currently serve as the Associate Rabbi and Rebbetzin in Congregation Beth Tefillah in Paramus NJ. Together with their two children they run an open home at which anyone who needs a Shabbat, a dinner or a listening ear is welcome. Besides for speaking engagements and events that Questioning The Answers put on, Kayla has recently become involved in the Agunah crisis.
