Thorough & Deep Understanding of DBT Jodi Pierce Reviewed in the United States on 5 September 2022 5.0 out of 5 stars Verified Purchase What an amazing book chock full of information identifying emotional dysregulation and then teaching all the ways to help it! If you are a person who wants to know the why and how of things and you are interested in behavioral therapies then you are going to love this book! The author did a great job of explaining the science of why it works and the how of using it with explanations and examples. It is a deeper look into DBT that may help you decide if this type of therapy is right for you. After reading/listening to it, I have started using breath-work at red lights and practicing mindfulness through observation. I do recommend breaking up your reading into chunks and allowing thinking & processing time in between. I already know that I will be listening to this book again as well as going back through the written book to study the diagrams further! Lilian Cregan it was amazing Peggy Darling is an expert on DBT. Her style is easy to understand and very accessible. She makes useful suggestions that the reader can implement almost immediately such as mindfulness, positive imagery and managing difficult emotions. The book can serve as a handbook for coping with a variety of situations, such as managing stress and maintaining emotional balance. This book is helpful and well researched. This DBT audiobook changed my life Maddox Metzger I was recommended DBT by a friend, so I decided to start with an audiobook instead of an expensive specialized therapist. At 7.5 hours, this is the most comprehensive guide on DBT I've ever listened to. It goes further in-depth than any online article I've seen yet. One big thing I learned from this audiobook is practicing self-care, specifically exercise, as a means to regulate emotions. What Perfect Timing D. Luria The title of this book caught my eye because I had never heard of Dialectic Behavior Therapy. But I really appreciated the timing of what I heard. For example, I learned about Distress Tolerance which is my ability to tolerate and respond to sustained and chronic negative stress. The author mentions that this type of stress (as opposed to healthy physical stress from exercise) can affect my immunological response. (I am just getting over cancer, so learning about this helps me return to the safety of only managing the things in my control). While I have sorted through many things from my past, there is always more to unpack. This book is well-researched, highly-detailed, and super helpful for anyone willing to do the work. Easy to recommend. Absolutely Fascinating deep dive. Chris Rawson7 and a half hours of a great deal of evidence based research, deep diving into DBT and it's effectiveness. The first chapter is a brilliant scene setter for those new to the subject of DBT bringing you up to speed with what it is, some evidence behind it and it's wide variety of use cases. As someone who has experienced mental health difficulties in the past I can certainly say that this book and its content does feel relevant to my personal situation as I'm sure it will for many many others. When the book moved onto the techniques used in DBT this was a comprehensive deep-dive that covered in detail everything you could possibly want to know. Being over 7 hours this is obviously one that you can do in chunks but it will certainly be worth it I can promise you of that.
