Nobody gets out of this life alive, and nobody's life is perfect. Everybody faces their measure of grief. You may be the survivor of abuse or feel traumatized by events from your past. You may encounter the agony of knowing you've deeply hurt others or not accepting yourself and moving forward after making big mistakes.

In this book, you'll learn about difficult subjects in an easy-to-understand manner. You can learn to transform a life of hardship into one full of promise and significance. DBT can teach new methods to reverse and actively take control of self-destructive habits and negative thought patterns.

When you use the skills and methods in this book, you will better manage emotions, communicate successfully with others, cope with difficult and stressful circumstances, and apply mindfulness regularly. You will discover how to change your life.

As you practice what you learn, it becomes simpler to appreciate what's lovely within yourself and the world when you put what you've learned into practice and then act on it.

great book

I'm in DBT therapy right now and trying to learn as much as I can. DBT is very helpful for me.

Great job!

The methods taught in this book are easily taken away and applied to your real-world daily life. We all have negativity that appears in our life daily, but it's how we approach that negativity to reach a point of healthiness. This book is key to finding the ways out of those "negative" moments.

Great introduction to DBT

I personally was not familiar with DBT but a very close friend recommended it to me as I love any kind of self-development therapies. This audiobook is perfect for anyone wanting to learn in depth what DBT is and how to apply it in their lives. I really enjoyed the Chapter about mindfulness as this is something I thought I knew a lot about. However, seeing Mindfulness in relation with DBT has brought way more meaning to this concept. There is a sentence that really sticked to me "just because you have an idea it does not mean is true". I recommend this audiobook to anyone wanting to dig a bit deeper in their self-development.

Great resource!

I am excited to begin this journey with my therapist. I listened to this book over one week via Audible while on my daily walk. It was not the correct way to use this resource but I’m grateful I did it my way, because now I can really dig into it, exercise-by-exercise with my therapist. Thank you for this excellent work!

Build positive experiences with this audiobook

This is a wonderful audiobook as it explains how being mindful can help one move to a more positive future and outlook on life. This is a great book that you can learn a great deal from and apply what you hear and incorporate in your daily life. A must listen to!!!
