A clear and effective approach to learning evidence-based DBT skills—now in a fully revised and updated second edition. Do you have trouble managing your emotions? First developed by Marsha M. Linehan for treating borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has proven effective as treatment for a range of other mental health problems, and can greatly improve your ability to handle distress without losing control and acting destructively. However, to make use of these techniques, you need to build skills in four key areas: distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook , a collaborative effort from three esteemed authors, offers evidence-based, step-by-step exercises for learning these concepts and putting them to work for real and lasting change. Start by working on the introductory exercises and, after making progress, move on to the advanced-skills chapters. Whether you’re a mental health professional or a general reader, you'll benefit from this clear and practical guide to better managing your emotions. This fully revised and updated second edition also includes new chapters on cognitive rehearsal, distress tolerance, and self-compassion. Once you’ve completed the exercises in this book and are ready to move on to the next level, check out the authors’ new book, The New Happiness Workbook . Review: My Therapist Made Me Buy This - 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! Review: Life changing—really! - 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!!

Great book.
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.
