Dbt Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets, (Paperback)

I was given a photocopy of this book for a Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) program I did a few years back. I started a new program and decided to purchase the book this time. Definitely worth it! Not only do you get the spiral bound book, but you also get access to a digital copy too. This is great so that I can print out the worksheets and not have to write in the book. The program itself is amazing. It has helped me so much with feeling more in control of my emotions and behaviors. It takes a lot of effort and practice to really "get" the skills. But they start to become easier and more automatic the more you practice. DBT is most effective when done in a formal group, but can also be very helpful doing with your individual therapist. Even if you do not have a therapist, the book can be helpful for the information and worksheets. But, it is beneficial to have a discourse with a professional to help you understand barriers and struggles and how to use the skills more effectively. DBT has been the most effective therapy I have tried (when I use the skills). If you struggle with high emotions, reactivity, interpersonal problems, self harm, suicidal ideation, substance use, anxiety, depression, or any ineffective behaviors, DBT may help you.

The most helpful book I have ever owned. This should be the curriculum in EVERY school.
