How Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) And Martial Arts Saved My Life with Alyssa Kurtz

Self-Helpless - A podcast by Crossover Media Group

Categories:

This week, we are joined by Competitive Martial Artist and Founder of Kurtz MMA, Alyssa Kurtz. Alyssa opens up about her past trauma including being in and out of psychiatric hospitals as a teen and young adult, what her rock bottom looked like, the biggest turning point in her life, and how a combination of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Martial Arts literally saved her. Alyssa also walks us through some DBT exercises we can all practice, and offers martial arts-inspired tips for setting healthy boundaries and cultivating self-respect. *Some content may be difficult for trauma survivors to hear.  For exclusive rewards, and to influence content for the show, join our Patreon community: https://www.patreon.com/selfhelpless Delanie: https://www.delaniefischer.com Kelsey: https://www.kelseycook.com See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
