The E in PLEASE Skills and the Science of Habit Formation

In this episode Maddy and Raich continue their deep dive into emotional regulation and the DBT PLEASE skills, with a special focus on the “E” — Exercise. Often the least favourite of the PLEASE skills, exercise is also one of the most pivotal tools for long-term emotional fire prevention. Yes we know, its not the answer you want but the one you need to hear!

We explore both the science and the art of exercise, why starting is often the hardest part, and why waiting for motivation usually keeps us stuck. Instead, we unpack how action comes first and motivation follows.

You’ll also hear us break down the “fancy” concept of habits:
What habits really are, what the science tells us about habit formation, and how neural pathways play a powerful role in creating lasting change.

Whether you’re just getting started or trying to build consistency, this episode offers practical insights to help you move toward better emotional balance , one small step at a time.
