Whether it’s a breakup or divorce, the loss of a job, or even a global pandemic, you may need a little extra help managing the difficult emotions that can arise when things are not going so great. Dialectical behaviour therapy (DBT) is a proven-effective and evidence-based treatment that can help you find balance and improve your ability to handle adversity without losing control and acting destructively.

Why not keep a copy on your nightstand, in your glove box, or on your work desk? You never know when you’ll need it!

As a fellow dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) therapist, author, and trainer, I am always on the lookout for simple, practical, and effective ways of making DBT skills accessible to the average reader. In this book, you will find just that! Even after using, teaching, and writing about DBT concepts for more than a decade, I now have a richer understanding of distress tolerance that I am excited to try on myself—and share with others!
