Super Feeler: A BPD Podcast

DBT Skills: Self Soothing with the Five Senses

Self-soothing isn’t just about bubble baths and candles—it’s about survival. 

In this episode we discuss the DBT skill of self-soothing through the five senses, exploring how sensory awareness can be a lifeline in our hardest moments. 

Self-soothing looks different for everyone, so you'll hear from Dave, Laurie, Heather, Kat and Shannon about our own favorite ways to soothe. 

Throughout this series we're using the book 'DBT for Life' by Diana Partington to guide our discussions. Get your own copy to follow along with us!
