A Clear and Effective Approach to Learning DBT SkillsFirst developed for treating borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has proven effective as treatment for a range of other mental health problems, especially for those characterized by overwhelming emotions. Research shows that DBT can improve your ability to handle distress without losing control and acting destructively. In order 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 straightforward, 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 are a professional or a general reader, whether you use this book to support work done in therapy or as the basis for self-help, you'll benefit from this clear and practical guide to better managing your emotions."This book has been awarded The Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies Self-Help Seal of Merit an award bestowed on outstanding self-help books that are consistent with cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) principles and that incorporate scientifically tested strategies for overcoming mental health difficulties.

Um, I can only speak as a ferret parent but I can assure you that giving my pet a bath is NOT a pleasurable activity.

night_shift As a large dog owner who hates bathes, I don't think this is entirely accurate lol 6y
cathysaid But what if your pet is a goldfish? OH THE HUMANITY! 6y
Amandajoy I had a lab who loved the water. Baths weren‘t pleasurable because she liked to jump & splash. There was always a lot of cleanup. This list seems dubious. 6y

CindyMyLifeIsLit Yeah, bathing dogs is just work! I think cooking is, as well, although I know some people do enjoy it. With my 35th anniversary approaching, I‘m kind of burned out on it!! 😁 6y
Susanita The one time I tried to give Kili a bath, he meowed and cried so much I thought the neighbors would call animal services on me. 6y
abookishbutterfly @CindyMyLifeIsLit @CindyMyLifeIsLit For me, cooking wouldn‘t be pleasurable anymore although I used to love it. I can see how some would check it off. But bathing my ferrets results in scratches on my arms and I end up just as soaked as my freshly bathed pets. Definitely not pleasurable! Haha 6y
abookishbutterfly @Amandajoy I definitely didn‘t check off very many as pleasurable activities! I guess someone out in the world must enjoy some of this stuff. 🤷‍♀️😂 6y
MicheleinPhilly I would like this person to come over, give Pickles a bath, and then let me know just how “pleasurable” an experience it was. 😒 6y

I have BPD & this is an amazing workbook! Everything is well laid out and arranged. Subjects are very well explained. The exercises are easy to follow but really make you dive into yourself. The book has helped me be more present in the "now" and to be much more mindful of my actions, my surroundings and my emotions and reactions. I would definitely recommend this workbook to anyone needing DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) help. ✨?✨

faelinwolf I love this book! I use parts of it with lots of folks I do therapy with. So many useful skills! 7y
CoffeeK8 We use DBT at one of the schools I work in, it‘s really helpful! 7y
