The DBT Skills Daily Journal

“As a therapist who aims to provide the best care for my clients, I would strongly encourage them to purchase this journal to support their efforts in therapy: they can continue reflecting on the work we do together at home and practice the skills in a facilitated manner. The writing prompts provided in this journal will help clients develop greater insight into their behavior and see sustained changes over time.”

“A missing link in the life of DBT-ers! This journal is a must-have for individuals looking to truly practice DBT in their everyday lives. As a DBT therapist and lifelong enthusiast of the practice, I know that DBT is not something that one can simply apply to one area of their life. DBT is life-changing work, and for that reason it needs to be embedded into every aspect of life. This workbook will help individuals looking to do just that.”
