Great Book for someone who is just starting out with DBT。 Simple to use and practical applications for a teen。 Loved the layout and guided tour to keep you motivated。 This book is a great tool to have in hand during the DBT therapy process。
Pauline Schoeman,
I really liked the style in which the book was written。 Each section has a Theme and it is informative but very understandably written。 The tasks that can be completed after the topics are great for exploring and better understanding your own experiences and emotions。 The book makes one realize that all these emotions and experiences that are sometimes difficult to put into words are quite normal and common especially when we are younger and trying to make sense of it。 I feel the book offers a w I really liked the style in which the book was written。 Each section has a Theme and it is informative but very understandably written。 The tasks that can be completed after the topics are great for exploring and better understanding your own experiences and emotions。 The book makes one realize that all these emotions and experiences that are sometimes difficult to put into words are quite normal and common especially when we are younger and trying to make sense of it。 I feel the book offers a wonderful new skill set through things like mindfulness, the emotions behind the emotions, how to handle certain situations better by being in touch with the inner self。 The book is really such a good summary of many things that we only read, learn and apply in our adult years in our lives。 A great head start in life when it comes to inner reflection, kindness and patience to ourselves and others。 Writing style, images and tasks are easy to comprehend, interactive and interesting。 The book will be a great asset to any household or school。 Breaking the stigma that there's something wrong with me or I need to be fixed。 When we understand better, we can respond or act better。 🤗 。。。more
Debbie,
My 15 year old suffers from anxiety and panic attacks。 She has had counseling, but didn’t connect well with the therapist。 She recently started this workbook and was excited how it “spoke” to her-she really liked the formatting and being able to work thru a situation。 This is something she will revisit multiple times as the school year begins。
