You know that habits are the key to a healthy lifestyle, but so much of the advice out there is very one-size-fits-all and doesn’t always take mental health into account. In this episode, we have Dr. Maddy Ellberger on the podcast to share her perspective on creating habits as a therapist specializing in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT). If you struggle with creating sustainable, healthy habits, this is the episode for you!

Some key takeaways from this episode include:

One of the reasons behavior change is hard is because we give up on things too quickly. Building habits teaches us that we can tolerate change if we stick with it, and this builds confidence in all areas of our lives.

Use your best judgment about which habits are “worth it” for you to implement in your life. As long as your habit isn’t hurting yourself or others, you can customize habits to fit your lifestyle.

Be careful about who you get your information from on the internet. Trained professionals like therapists can only give information online, not treatment, so be wary of self-proclaimed coaches or influencers that are giving advice without proper licenses or training.
