Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills Workbook for Psychosis

About this book

Powerful and effective skills to help you manage psychosis, take charge of your emotions, and get back to living your life.

Based in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), this first-of-its-kind workbook offers real skills to help you balance your emotions and stay grounded in reality. You'll find self-assessments, worksheets, and guided activities to help you understand your symptoms and manage them in day-to-day life. You'll also gain self-awareness, learn to navigate difficult or stressful situations, and discover healthier ways of interacting with others.

If you have a history of psychosis or suffer from psychotic spectrum disorder, you know how difficult it can be. You may experience paranoia, auditory hallucinations, and emotional dysregulation. In addition, you may feel alienated from your friends and family if they have trouble understanding what you're going through. The good news is that you can move beyond the stigma of psychosis, regain hope, and rebuild your life. This compassionate workbook will help you get started.

In this workbook, you'll learn the core skills of DBT to help you feel better:

  • Mindfulness
  • Distress tolerance
  • Emotion regulation
  • Interpersonal effectiveness


You'll also find important information on relapse prevention—including warning signs to watch out for, what to do if you have another episode, and an extensive resource list to help you manage your symptoms. And finally, you'll find a wealth of practical tools that can be used every day for long-lasting psychosis recovery.
