The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook: Practical DBT Exercises for Learning Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness, Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance

Okay, she didn’t make me buy it but she sent me a link for it one day and I purchased it on the spot. I’ve been in therapy for like 6 years and BPD & CPTSD still make my life hard all the time. However, I agree that this book is an excellent resource. It was written by obviously very educated and experienced professionals who lay everything out in a non-judgmental and productive way that is comprehensive and easy to apply as a daily practice. There are sections with journal spaces and a lot of examples. I think calling this a “self help” book isn't quite accurate, I’d say it’s more of a scientific resource that provides anyone who has access to it proven techniques that teach the reader invaluable skills to deal with severely distressful situations, or just life in general. If you are tired of your self destructive behavior messing up your future, you really ought to consider practicing DBT in some form. When you actually apply the techniques, and trust me it’s hard, you eventually find yourself having more valuable experiences and feeling more relaxed. I think this is an especially good resource for anyone who cannot afford to get mental health care from a professional and might not even have an official diagnosis, as you literally can not hurt anything at all by doing dialectical behavioral therapy and these skills are applicable to a huge array of situations and people. Many of the things I learned in therapy are taught in a cohesive manner in this book. Not to say this can replace therapy, if you can get professional help, you should do it. But if you can’t, this could very well take you extremely far, IF you stick to it like an exercise routine. You have to do it every day. Self care like this is hard, but we can do it. Be kind to yourself today, and good luck!

This book is truly life changing. I’ve never said that about any other book or program. Solid, easy, practical advice. You can read straight through or cherry pick sections. Or you can open to a random page for a quick tip to focus on that day. This has been incredibly helpful to me and I would highly recommend it to anyone. It’s also very well edited, which is rare lately!!

This excellent workbook on DBT therapy skills was an excellent addition to my library and to help facilitate stronger sessions for my clients. It offered valuable resources, and worksheets that could be used in sessions and individually.

Nice book, it fixed me 👍

Recomiendo ampliamente este libro! Me encanto!

I’m happy with the purchase

Honestly, if you have bpd, or attachment issues, this book is the best guide to helping yourself. Has improved me as a person in such a short time. As all books you take in the parts that are relevant to you, and skim passed the bits that you haven’t dealt with or suffered from. Really good book just to have as it has skills that most would often not think about or often practice.

Good book for people suffering from BPD. Really helpul, real meaning of the exercises and the examples.
