Overview

If you have depression, you may struggle with intense and painful emotions. You might lack motivation or feel disconnected from the world around you. And you may give up hope that you'll ever feel better. It's important to know that you aren't alone, and there are skills you can use to find your way out of the darkness and into the light. Grounded in evidence-based dialectical behavior therapy (DBT)--the gold standard for treating emotion dysregulation--this workbook can help you take that important first step. The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Depression offers proven-effective skills to balance your emotions, deal with distressing situations, improve your relationships, increase feelings of hope, and be more mindful and grounded. You'll find breathing and body scanning exercises to help you anchor yourself in the moment, journaling prompts to help you explore your thoughts and feelings, and values-based activities to help you identify what truly matters to you. Depression isn't your fault, and it doesn't have to define you or your future.
