Regulate intense emotions, change problematic behaviors, and build
fulfilling relationships with this self-directed DBT skills program.
Created by psychologist Marsha M. Linehan, Dialectical Behavior Therapy
(DBT) is an evidence-based approach for managing difficult emotions,
thoughts, and behaviors. In this practical guide and workbook, you will
develop skills in four key areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance,
emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. While traditional
DBT programs take 6 to 12 months to complete and require weekly
individual therapy, weekly group skills training, and regular phone
coaching, Self-Directed DBT Skills distills the DBT skills into a
3-month program that anyone can access and implement on their own. Using
this roadmap filled with actionable exercises, you'll build a strong
foundation for emotional well-being and create lasting change.
