Social Signalling Matters: An RO DBT Podcast

The Radically Open Institute 2 Episodes Sep 10, 2026

Social Signalling Matters is an RO DBT podcast exploring how people read social signals—gestures, tone of voice, and even their absence—to assess safety and belonging. Drawing on Radically Open Dialectical Behaviour Therapy research, it explains why some individuals inhibit their social signalling and what an overcontrolled biotemperament involves. The show examines the costs of misaligned signalling, including damaged relationships, perfectionism, loneliness, burnout, and resentment. It is hosted by Dr. Nicole Little and Erica Smith Lynch, with production by Roelie Hempel and Jodi Bhachu-Smith. The podcast is aimed at anyone interested in learning more about RO DBT and related topics.
