Welcome to the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast, where we discuss all things mental health,

personal development, and all the small decisions we can make to become the best possible

versions of ourselves.

I'm your host, Dr. Joy Harden Bradford, a licensed psychologist in Atlanta, Georgia.

And while I hope you love listening to and learning from the podcast, it is not meant

to be a substitute for a relationship with a licensed mental health professional.

Hey y'all, thanks so much for joining me for session 41 of the Therapy for Black Girls Podcast.

For today's episode, I wanted to break down another set of alphabets you may have heard

floating around.

DBT. DBT stands for Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and is most commonly used with people

who have been diagnosed with borderline personality disorder.

To help us make sense of all of this, I chatted with licensed clinical social worker,

CEDA Hood.

CEDA is the clinical director of From the Hard Counseling Incorporated in St. Charles,

Illinois, and specializes in working with angry and aggressive teens, people who have

experienced trauma and millennial women looking to thrive in life.

CEDA and I discuss what DBT is, who can benefit from it, and how you can find a DBT group

that might work for you.

Here's our conversation.

So, thank you so much for joining us today, CEDA.

Thank you for having me.
