Description

Difficult emotions like anger, fear, sadness, guilt, and shame are part of being alive and are meant to help protect us, but when they get out of control, these emotions can also cause severe pain. When you''re in the grip of an emotional storm, it''s all too easy to overreact, lash out at others, or become angry with yourself. Therapists created dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, to help people with overwhelming emotions calm themselves when their feelings become too painful or out of control.

The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Diary presents an overview of each of the four DBT skills-distress tolerance, mindfulness, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness-and includes a journal you can use each day to monitor your successes, chart your progress, and stay on track making productive changes in your life.

With this diary, you can:

•Learn over twenty techniques to use when you feel overwhelmed
•Observe and record your progress each day
•Find out which coping strategies work best for you
•Discover nutrition and lifestyle changes that can make you feel better

Introduction: Dialectical Behavior Therapy

WHAT IS DBT?

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) was originally created by Dr. Marsha Linehan (1993a) to help people who were struggling with bor-derline personality disorder. It was designed to teach people practical skills to improve their lives, and research showed that it was very suc-cessful. Now DBT is also being used to help people who are struggling with a wide variety of other problems, including depression, bipolar disorder, and anxiety. The common factor in all of these problems is overwhelming emotions.

The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Diary

OVERWHELMING EMOTIONS

People who struggle with overwhelming emotions often feel vulnerable. At any point, the smallest trigger can lead to a tidal wave of emotions that leaves them feeling confused, angry, alone, hopeless, and in pain. Because of this, people who struggle with overwhelming emotions often try desperately to maintain control of their feelings, their relationships, the actions of others, and their environments. But no matter how hard they try, something always seems to go wrong and once again they get overwhelmed by their feelings. Some people with this problem have been struggling with it since childhood. Others are also dealing with the devastating impact of early physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. In addition, many of them struggle with problems like dysfunctional rela-tionships, interference with their schoolwork or job, health problems, dangerous or self-harming behaviors, and an inability to focus or con-centrate. The combined result of all these issues can be truly painful, both emotionally and physically.

THE FOUR DBT SKILLS GROUPS

Luckily, DBT has successfully taught thousands of people how to cope with issues related to overwhelming emotions. In general, DBT teaches four groups of practical skills that will help you in many areas of your life:

1.Distress tolerance skills will help you distract from painful situations when you can’t cope with them, and then relax and soothe yourself.

2.Mindfulnessskills will help you stay focused on what’s hap-pening in the present moment, concentrate, and make healthier choices as a result.

3.Emotion regulationwill help you identify and name skills your feelings, and then learn how to tolerate them without getting overwhelmed.

Introduction

4.Interpersonal effectivenesswill give you the tools to skills improve your relationships, ask for what you want in an effective way, say no, and establish appropriate boundaries, in a respectful, healthy way.

THE PURPOSE OF THIS BOOK

This book,The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Diary, will teach you many of the skills from the four groups. It was written as a companion to The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills WorkbookWood, and (McKay, Brantley 2007), where you will find in-depth explanations of each of the four skills groups, as well as additional exercises in each category. This diary is designed to enhance the progress that you’ve already made in individual DBT treatment, in DBT group treatment, or on your own usingThe Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook. (If you aren’t already familiar with DBT skills, you might want to consult TheDialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbookor a DBT therapist for assistance.) In general, this DBT diary has three purposes:

JTo remind you of the core DBT skills in each of the four groups

JTo record your successes each time you use one of the skills

JTo help you observe and record the overall improvements in your life due to using these skills on a daily basis

Many people in DBT treatment mistakenly think that they’re using the skills more often than they really are, or they don’t remember the small successes they have using their skills. Either way, they don’t make improvements as quickly as they could. The goal of this book is to help you become more active in your treatment and find out for yourself what kind of impact the skills are having on your daily life.
