Interesting

This was a pretty fascinating discussion as a psychiatry student. I appreciated the comparison of different modality use as you're quite right that we mainly hear about DBT.

Brilliant!

When I discovered this podcast I was studying for my PMHNP board certification exam., My mind was spinning; this podcast was much needed clarity. A genuine narrative with high yield clinical pearls. I am happy to say that I am a board certified PMHNP now! There were many moments during the exam that I heard your voice, Dr. Puder and Dr. Cummings- Thank you!
