This episode breaks down some of the most widely used and effective psychological therapies. It explains how Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps reframe negative thoughts to change emotions and behavior, and how Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) builds emotional regulation and mindfulness skills, especially for people with intense emotions. We also cover psychodynamic therapy, which explores unconscious patterns from the past, and humanistic therapy, which emphasizes self-acceptance and growth.

Additional therapies discussed include EMDR (used for trauma), ACT (acceptance-based behavior therapy), narrative therapy, and family/couples therapy. The episode emphasizes that choosing the right therapy depends on your goals and challenges—but what matters most is the relationship between you and your therapist. Therapy is not about fixing weakness—it's about empowering strength.
