This cannot be emphasized enough: Your Skills Cards from me are based on *Real DBT* as defined and researched by Marsha Linehan PhD (and her research earned her a number of National of Mental Health Institution Grants and Well Deserved Professional Accolades). Dialectical Behavior Therapy or "DBT" is the official treatment model of that Dr. Linehan founded for individuals struggling with strong, sensitive emotions and difficulties with their emotion regulation, at times safety difficulties, problems with mindfulness or a sense of consistent self, persons who may have Borderline Personality Disorder or some aspects of Borderline Personality Disorder, and DBT has also been shown to be very effective with Teens, Adults, and across the gender spectrum. DBT was designed to help alleviate suffering, help people establish their own effective life management path, get clarity on their goals in relationships and start building a LIFE WORTH LIVIVNG not just as life to tolerate, and that LIFE should have rich meaning for them. The cards are NOT A SUBSITUTE FOR COMPREHENSIVE DBT TREATMENT WITH A QUALIFIED MENTAL HEALTH PROVIDER/DBT THERPAIST OR DBT SKILLS TRAINING GROUP OR PROGRAM. They are designed as a compliment to these programs, or for therapists/mental health providers to use, or for active clients or past clients of DBT to use to enhance daily SKILLS USE in their lives. They are not designed to be a crisis intervention tool in and of themselves, they can be part of a crisis or high distress tolerance plan you develop with your own active treatment professional. The CARDS ARE ALSO EXCELLENT FOR FAMILY MEMBERS OR SUPPORT PERSONS LOOKING TO LEARN MORE ABOUT THE DBT SKILLS AND WAY OF LIVING IN AN EFFICENT MANNER.

As mentioned, the cards are based on the Linehan "DBT Skills Manual and Handouts 2nd Ed" from Guilford Press. Comes hole punched and on a binder ring for you.

The carrying cases accent color do vary between BLACK, PINK OR GRAY, and the color of you case may depend on the availability of my in stock supply of cases at the time. ***Feel free to message me if you want to request a specific accent color of the case from the 3 options listed here, and I will do my best to meet that request.*** Each carrying case bag comes with “DBT Skills” embellished on it in permanent high grade black or gray vinyl, the cases have a top zipper closure to hold your cards securely inside and organized.

Please note, as already mentioned, that this resource is meant to compliment your journey in learning and using DBT Skills in real life, and in conjunction with work you may be doing with a DBT Professional in psychotherapy and/or DBT Skills Training Groups. This resource is not intended as a replacement for medically necessary care should that be your need. NO ACTUAL OR IMPLIED THERAPUTIC RELATIONSHIP exists between this author/designer/seller and the buyer/user. The cards are not a sole crisis resource or a diagnostic tool, or intended to be sole means of treatment or learning DBT.

This set is very understandable in content and is appropriate for ages Teen through Adult.

People who have completed DBT therapy and Skills Training before will also love how convenient these cards make brushing up on the DBT Skills.

Unique to this card deck is a special BONUS section of guided DBT Skills Challenge cards, designed to help you build confidence in your DBT Skills use and as is said in DBT: To help you “Build Mastery.”

The 35 cards are based on all four modules of official Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) plus includes Walking The Middle Path (Dialectical Perspective). You can expect specific Skills guidance in the areas of Mindfulness, Interpersonal Effectiveness (relationships), Emotion Regulation, and Distress Tolerance (Skillful strategies to manage increased distress and crisis point skills including 3 cards on the DBT Skill of TIPP for example). Too many Skills are covered from the Linehan DBT Manual to list here! Card number 36 is the title/cover card.
