DBT Skills Workbook, The Synopsis

Empowering DBT skills for grounding, emotional regulation, valuesguided action, and interpersonal effectiveness. The DBT Workbook for Dissociation is an empowering guide and an invitation to explore what living well with dissociative identities means to you—at your own pace, and on your own terms. Unlike other resources written for readers with DID, this workbook honors all your parts—and embraces your multiplicity. Its goal isn't to deny or stifle your identities: it welcomes you as you are, teaching you to trust your internal community and build radical acceptance. This workbook is designed to support your journey toward wellness, however you define that for yourselves. The workbook includes 4 modules: • Grounding Skills offers foundational tools to help you connect with the present moment, mindfully relate to bodybased experiences like pain and illness, and honor your internal experience with radical acceptance. • Emotional Regulation Skills includes exercises to help you understand your emotions and make sense of your feelings. • ValuesGuided Action Skills helps you identify your values and take committed action in alignment with those values. • Interpersonal Effectiveness Skills gives you tools for communicating with others, setting boundaries, and developing your internal relationships. With gentle checkins, mindful activity breaks, and bonus exercises like Why Am I Behaving This Way? and the Difficult Emotions Decision Tree, this workbook is grounded in care, compassion, and consent. It offers overviews of key concepts like the Window of Tolerance and "SafeEnough versus Safe", inviting you to build supportive containers for building your DBT skills. It also provides guidance and checklists to help you create a comfortable environment that accommodates different sensory needs as you embark on this workbook.
