Length3h 44m
About this audiobook
You know better, and you still do it: the sharp reply, the message you can't take back, the shutdown that lasts all evening, the yes you didn't mean. Then comes the replay and the shame. Someone mentioned DBT skills, and you opened a search page full of acronyms and clinical language. You just want to know what the skills are, which one to use when, and how to practice without a therapist handing you a worksheet pack. DBT Skills for Beginners is a plain-English, friendly introduction to the four core skill areas of dialectical behavior therapy: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Every skill is explained in the book's own words and steps, with everyday examples from kitchens, workplaces and text threads, and short practice exercises you can do in five minutes. It is a general beginner's guide for anyone with intense emotions, not a book about one diagnosis, not an anger-management program, and not a meditation manual. It also says clearly what a book cannot do, and it shows you how to find a DBT program when you are ready for one. Inside, you'll learn: You don't have to feel less.
