I am so excited to announce that I co-wrote a book called Self-Directed DBT Skills. And the ebook is available today!!! tinyurl.com/3uavhrbh #DBT #CBTworks #selfhelp
My new deck of DBT skill coping cards is out and available today! Written for therapists, DBT clients/graduates, and anyone interested in DBT but not yet willing to commit to a full DBT workbook (or actual DBT). tinyurl.com/dbtcards
Some cards are like flashcards, reviewing DBT skill acronyms and info. Some cards provide ideas for how to cope with specific experiences—anxiety, self-disgust, splitting, people-pleasing, and more. Altogether, they offer tons of ways to practice DBT-inspired coping.
@NowMattersNow's mission is to disseminate evidence-based mental health information as widely as possible *for free* so that it's available for people who need it, right when they need it. nowmattersnow.org/
Feeling alone is one of the hardest parts of emotional suffering. NMN's team is made up of folks w lived experience of suicidal thoughts, addiction, depression, grief, & other mental health struggles. We share openly, hoping that others won't have to suffer as much as we have.

ok this was a joke 3+ years ago, but 100+ talks, many papers, and a book on single-session interventions later, I can formally confirm that a forehead tattoo would be my best bet for getting this across 🙃

Dialectical Behavior Therapy's primary aim is building a "Life Worth Living" by working towards value-based goals and being mindfully present in your life.
I loved writing this guide for @psyche_the_mag. I hope distilling this tough process allows more people to benefit from DBT!

There are a lot of misconceptions and stigma surrounding self-injury that tend to dissuade people from getting mental health treatment that could help. Here’s what everyone needs to know, by @dbtkiki psychologytoday.com/us/blog/…
📙🥳Happy first birthday to my book Self-Directed DBT Skills! 🥳📙
It's been a heck of year, and my co-author and I are so grateful for all of the positive reviews and heartfelt messages we've received from readers. It's truly been an honor and a joy.
All we wanted with this book was to make DBT more accessible and to get these life-changing skills into the hands of people who need them.
In honor at that mission, here's a huge list of mental health resources: tinyurl.com/dbtkiki-resource…
I hope something on there supports you!
