    About this ebook

    Are you struggling with dealing with your emotions, especially with those painful ones? Are you struggling with understanding what is happening in your mind, making you do or say things you regret later? Do you want to clear your head and take control over your emotions without resorting to unhealthy choices?

    If your answer to these questions is yes, you are in the right place. The truth is that everyone, at some point in their life, feels completely overwhelmed by their emotions, especially the negative ones which tend to be the most intense, most difficult, to understand and manage. When these emotions strike, you may feel as if you are completely losing control of what is within your mind. Frustration, anger, sadness, and other extremely intense emotions can be extremely hard to manage.

    You have probably tried some things to take control over your mind. You have probably tried to make a change in your behavioral pattern, but it did not work in the long run. One of the biggest mistakes people make when dealing with painful emotions is trying to avoid them, instead of accepting them as they are. Of course, everyone wants to avoid feeling depressed, anxious or angry, but in reality, avoidance only adds more to the overall emotional chaos.

    There is no magical pill or extremely easy solution here, only hard work and patience. This is where Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills come into play teaching you how to take control over your emotions in a healthy, assertive way. These methods combine different practices such as distress tolerance and emotion regulation which, once embraced, can help you develop your inner resilience and stop needless emotional suffering.

    Inside You Will Discover

    • The power and nature of emotions.
    • The difference between emotions and feelings.
    • What emotional intelligence is and why it matters.
    • What affects your emotional state.
    • How emotions affect both your physical and mental health.
    • What Dialectical Behavior Therapy is and when it is used.
    • What the main components of dialectical behavior therapy are.

    • And much much more...

    Introduction

    Dialectical Behavior Therapy or simply DBT offers hope to people who are ready to take back control over their lives, to reconnect with themselves and overcome extremely challenging anxiety symptoms.

    DBT does not make this journey easy or seamless, but it helps struggling individuals to uncover their inner power and to rewire their mindset which will let them live their life to the fullest.

    The book is packed with valuable tools and strategies for overcoming anxiety symptoms and for calming emotional chaos.

    These tools and strategies are cumulative which means that they build upon each other ultimately providing a lifelong lasting DBT toolkit for dealing with anxiety and similar mental health disorders.

    With this valuable toolkit, individuals diagnosed with any kind of anxiety disorder are finally prepared to deal with all future challenges without resorting to unhealthy habits or unhealthy choices.

    The book focuses the needs that individuals struggling with anxiety have bringing solution-focused, evidence-based DBT principles and fundamentals which make up the very core of emotional intelligence.

    As you read through the book, you will familiarize yourself with the core principles and fundamentals of DBT in the direction of understanding how it works.

    You will learn more about emotional intelligence in general, how your emotions and what is inside affect your health state equally influencing your physical and mental health state.

    Then, you will explore different dialectical behavior therapy-based skills through easy exercises which you can apply to every single challenge you come across regarding your emotional state.

    DBT has proven effective as therapy for a wide range of different mental health issues especially ones characterized by emotional instability and overwhelming emotions.

    There are numerous studies conducted on the topic which suggest that this type of therapy is extremely helpful when handling distress, or struggling with distress tolerance, struggling with emotional instability as it can help individuals regain control over their emotions, especially over those destructive, negative emotions.

    In favor of using valuable DBT skills, individuals need to work on building their own toolkit regarding four major areas.

    These include emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

    The book provides a step-by-step approach for learning these skills, for putting them to really work and for embracing lasting changes.

    The book can be equally helpful when used alone as well as when used alongside therapy. Either way, it can serve as your best companion on this lifelong lasting journey which is definitely worth taking.

    The tools, reproducible toolkits and other resources contained in the book have been used in overcoming emotional issues and treating mental health disorders for many years.

    Learning skills such as mindfulness, emotion regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and distress tolerance have been revised and advanced to suit everyone dealing with these types of struggles.

    Packed with step-by-step exercises and clinical vignettes, the book depicts the very nuts and bolts of DBT which will serve the best to the individuals struggling with anxiety and depression as well as those who have a history of treatment failure.

    Moreover, it can also help individuals who do not have these issues but still find themselves sometimes overwhelmed by their emotions.

    In fact, in this modern, hectic world, most of the time, we are completely overwhelmed by various stressful situations coming out of nowhere.

    This is something we do not have to live with. There is so much we can do on our own to finally live our lives to the fullest.

    It is possible to live this way. Instead of getting stuck with one thing that can easily ruin our day, we should smile more, be grateful and respectful as we only have one life which should not be wasted on negativity.

    Everyone can benefit from DBT practices and skills, not only individuals diagnosed with a mental health disorder.

    Everyone can benefit from evidence-based DBT skills and exercises which teach us how to be fully present in what is happening around us, how to embrace everything positive coming our way and how to be the very best version of ourselves.

    We simply need to prioritize our goals, implement some mindfulness, work on dealing with distress and finally take control of our minds. Once there, every problem and every challenge you have will seem smaller, not so relevant, and something you can overcome in no time.

    Once there, you have full control over what is inside you, over your mind, over your feelings, and over your thoughts.

    Since you are the one in charge, there is nothing that can stop you from living the life you want to live. There will be nothing stopping you from being the very best version of yourself you have always wanted to be.

    Psychologists and philosophers have spent years and years debating the core nature of human emotions in the first place positive emotions such as happiness.
