Developed for the treatment of borderline personality disorder, dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) has proven to be effective as a treatment for a variety of other mental health problems, particularly those marked by overwhelming emotions. Research shows that DBT can boost the ability to manage anxiety without losing control and behaving destructively. To order to make use of these strategies, you need to develop skills to four key areas: sensitivity to stress, mindfulness, control of emotions, and interpersonal effectiveness.
Start by working on the introductory exercises and move on to the advanced skills chapters after making progress. Whether you are a qualified reader or a general reader, whether you use this book to support the work undertaken in therapy or as a basis for self-help, you will benefit from this simple and practical guide to better manage your emotions.
