EP. 209: Emotion, Trauma and ADHD with Dialectical Behavioral Therapist, Vanessa Gorelkin

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This episode I'm delighted to re-introduce you to Vanessa Garkin. We talked to Vanessa a few months ago about occupational therapy (go back and listen to</span> <a href="https://www.tracyotsuka.com/podcasts/198/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Episode 198</span></a> <span style= "font-weight: 400;">if you haven’t already!), and as we were wrapping it up, it became very clear to me that in Vanessa we also had an expert in emotional dysregulation, rejection sensitive dysphoria (RSD), and dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT). So, at the end of our conversation I asked Vanessa if she would come back and share her expertise on these topics, and lucky for us, she said yes.</span></p> <p> </p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">During our conversation, Vanessa explains what DBT is, how it differs from CBT, and how she uses it to help her ADHD clients break out of the RSD cycle. We also dive into ADHD and emotional dysregulation, shame and perfectionism, the link between RSD and trauma, and so much more.</span></p> <p><br /> <br /></p> <p><strong>Resources</strong><span style= "font-weight: 400;">:</span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Website:</span> <a href= "https://vanessagorelkin.com/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">https://vanessagorelkin.com</span></a></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Instagram: @humanist_therapist </span></p> <p><a href="https://www.tracyotsuka.com/podcasts/198/"><span style= "font-weight: 400;">Episode 198: How to Unlock Your Potential with Occupational Therapist, Vanessa Gorelkin</span></a></p>
