"DBT is too soft."

Ulland and Jo address judgments towards DBT they have heard more than once regarding being "too easy" with clients. They discuss how those unfamiliar with acceptance strategies are more likely to misunderstand how acceptance is used to meet clients where they are so that meaningful change can happen.  They review some of the assumptions within DBT that make this possible. Please review the previous episode that reviews specific assumptions for further details. Ulland and Jo realized they had not previously covered ALL the assumptions.
