Resumen del Editor

You are an adult! It’s incredibly frustrating that you have got to this stage of your life, and you can’t communicate without losing your rage. But when this impacts your entire life, it’s time to change!

One drink seems like a typical, sociable idea. But that one drink turns into several. One second you are happy and having a great time. The next, you feel like like a bull in a China shop. Inevitably, you argue with someone!

This is just one of the hundreds of scenarios that could occur when intense emotions arise and take control of every rational part of your body.

At some point, social interactions are going to be a necessary part of our lives. Hiding from the rest of the world is appealing. But after a few days, boredom and emptiness will take over. If you aren’t careful, this is just the beginning of destructive behaviors.

Is your boss noticing? Is your family concerned? Have you lost one too many relationships because of your mood?

Everyone needs a little help with their emotions. However, conditions like borderline personality disorder, PTSD, anxiety, and depression are going to make emotions even more difficult to manage.

Everyone could benefit from therapy at some point. But where do you start?

In this guide to Dialectal Behavior Therapy (DBT), you will discover:

• How Marsha Lineham, the founder of Dialectal Behavior Therapy, changed how we
  treat some of the most harmful mental health conditions.
• What makes DBT different from other therapies due to its unique four principles
• How mindfulness, a 2,500-year-old practice, got its revival and became a crucial
  part of DBT.
• Six guided meditations to help overcome everything from fear of abandonment to
  impulsive behavior—plus four other mindful practices.
• The impacts of stress on the body and how one nerve can improve your tolerance to
  distress.
• Seven distress tolerance exercises to prepare you for an emotional crisis.
• The meaning behind DBT acronyms like D.E.A.R.M.A.N. and F.A.S.T. that are going to
  improve your social interactions.
• How assertiveness and healthy boundaries will boost your interpersonal effectiveness.
• Free exercises for social skills assessment and understanding emotional triggers
• What it takes to develop the idealized wise mind.
• How to reframe negative thoughts into positive self-talk in three simple steps.

And much more!

Every day you are faced with challenges, and every day you fight through them. But these issues return stronger and stronger, no matter what you try.

Today, you might be in the darkest place you can imagine. You are struggling to make it through the day, let alone be happy.

It’s not that you don’t have the ability to turn your life around. It’s that you are missing the practical knowledge to do so. And here it is, at your fingertips!

4 principles to happiness

RJ Miller has written a great book. The narration by Derek Porterfield is excellent. In fact the narration is better than excellent. While listening to the book i was taking notes and due to the pacing etc of the narration i hardly had to rewind or pause during listening. Great Job!!!

This book is full of information on behavior therapy. Mediation, vagus nerve etc. But for me the exercises for social skills and understanding emotional triggers were the best part of the book. As I have aged i thought I was just becoming an angry old man. Not understanding what was going on in my body and mind was an issue for me. Thanks to this book and applying some of the concepts outlined. I feel armed with information to improve my social skills, improve my way of life and generally be happy again.

thanks for writing such a great book. I highly recommend it!!!!
