Description
This book instructs the reader in managing their emotions using principles adapted from dialectical behavior therapy (DBT). DBT promotes mindfulness and an understanding, nonjudgmental acceptance of one’s emotions. Author Sheri Van Dijk explains how this understanding can reduce long-term suffering through wiser decision-making and accepting circumstances outside of one’s own control. She provides exercises with each chapter to help the reader practice mindfulness and helpful thinking themselves.
