Making Self-Help Resources Accessible to All | Diana Partington of the Book, DBT for Life
The episode centers on Diana's argument that self-help resources are typically built for one kind of learner -- the academic text reader -- and her deliberate design choices (color illustrations, short stories, choose-your-own-adventure structure, multiple entry points) to reach everyone else.
Connecting Black and Brown Individuals with Therapists Who Understand | Crysta Harris of the Black Brown Delaware Therapists Directory (BBDT)
The central argument of the episode is that shared cultural identity lowers client defenses and accelerates trust, and the directory was built specifically to solve the Black and Brown therapist representation gap.
