The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook - Matthew McKay, Jeffrey C. Wood, and Jeffrey Brantley

[Jonesy]

Hi all - Found this on another thread so thought it might be useful to leave here.

Don't let the connection to BPD throw you- it is excellent for a wide range of challenges. It is a workbook- I find the Distress Tolerance and Emotion Regulation sections particularly helpful when things get rough. I need to be more in balance for the Mindfulness and Interpersonal Effectiveness sections. It's another book that we used at Sheppard-Pratt with support from a therapist but I use it at home on my own. And yes- I do spend an inordinate amount of time working on healing (insert eye-rolling emoticon here).

Thx Jonesy. I haven't had the courage to post anything, but have found a lot of help in reading/reflecting on others' posts.
