Summary If you self-harm, you should know that you aren't alone. There are lots of reasons people turn to self-harming behaviors; whether you do control in your life, or just feel something -- anything -- other than numb, there are safer and healthier ways to find emotional relief. This workbook can help. With this powerful and compassionate workbook as your guide, you'll learn how to work through difficult thoughts and feelings, find relief from emotional pain, and build stronger, more supportive relationships. Using skills based in dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) -- the go-to treatment for self-harm -- you'll create an action plan to stop your reliance on self-harming and self-destructive behaviors, so you can start living the life you truly want.
Put an end to self-harming behaviors--once and for all. Do you cut or self-harm? Do you feel like it gives you a sense of control in a world where you so often feel helpless and powerless? Do you do it to distract from emotional pain, or just feel something other than total numbness? There's a long list of reasons why you may self-harm. But regardless of the reason or the method, the truth is that self-harm is a destructive--and potentially deadly--way to deal with emotional pain. Fortunately, there are healthier and safer ways to manage your emotions. In The DBT Skills Workbook for Teen Self-Harm, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) expert Sheri Van Dijk offers powerful skills to help you manage your emotions, so you won't have to rely on self-destructive behaviors. Whether you're actively engaging in self-harm by injuring your body, or participating in other self-destructive behaviors such as substance abuse or disordered eating, this workbook will help you create your own action plan for change. This workbook will guide you through four essential DBT skills:Mindfulness shows you how to experience emotion without having to act on itDistress tolerance teaches you how to deal with the urge to self-harmEmotional regulation allows you to understand and control painful feelingsInterpersonal effectiveness helps you build self-respect and minimize feelings of worthlessness and hopelessness Life can be painful, but you don't need to face this pain all on your own.
