Description
The DBT Selfhelp & Diary Card app teaches you skills that help you manage overwhelming emotions, break destructive behaviors, develop healthy relationships, be more focused in the present moment and increase your quality of life.
The inability to accept and cope with emotions is at the core of most destructive behaviors, so by training skills that help you manage these emotions instead of acting on them you can avoid both the negative consequences of your behavior and also reduce the emotional suffering.
The app contains detailed descriptions, practice tips and rationale based on the skills used in Dialectical Behavior Therapy, which has proven to be very effective in helping people with various difficulties – in particular due to its focus on learning effective skills. The skills are divided into six modules: Mindfulness, Interpersonal Skills, Emotion Regulation, Distress Tolerance, Validation, and Problem Solving. The app’s functions are designed to strengthen learning of and increase accessibility to the skills, thereby assisting the development of effective behaviors.
Each skills module provides several practice exercises where you can document when you practice or use specific skills in different situations.
The Diary Card allows you to monitor your target behaviors, your emotions and also the skills you train or use on a daily basis. This will give you a deeper understanding of the patterns in your emotions and behaviors as well as the progress you make as you practice and use the skills in your life.
