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

Mental health counselors explain a type of therapy designed to help people manage overwhelming emotions, arguing that it strengthens a person’s ability to handle distress without losing control or acting destructively. They write particularly for people who are in group or individual dialectical behavior therapy and need a workbook to help learn the four key skills identified in the subtitle. However, they say, the tools they describe could be useful to anyone who struggles with overwhelming feelings. They do not provide an index.
