Now fully revised and updated, this workbook offers proven-effective dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) skills to help you find emotional balance and live the life you want.
Life gives you plenty of reasons to get angry, sad, scared, and frustrated—and those feelings are okay. But sometimes it can feel like your emotions are taking over, spinning out of control with a mind of their own.
