The DBT Deck for Clients and Therapists: 101 Mindful Practices to Manage Distress, Regulate Emotions & Build Better Relationships Kindle Edition

I was excited to see a DBT deck for therapy use, especially after I've been using the ACT deck and have found it super helpful. However, once I received the cards and began looking through them, I found that most of the information can be easily obtained online or through other materials that I already have. While the ACT cards provided many exercises and thought-provoking questions, the DBT deck basically explains the different components of DBT and occasionally gives an exercise or question.When I made the purchase, I expected an addition to my collection of therapy resources (I've only been collecting for about 2-3 years, so I'm definitely not an expert in the field). Instead, I feel like I spent $20 on notecards that I could've written myself. This isn't very helpful.I'm not really sure why this product has almost 5 stars... I suppose the cards could be moderately helpful if you know nothing about DBT and don't feel like doing an internet search. But honestly, I'd advise getting a book instead. Or the ACT deck.

I have a close family member who is BPD and my Dr. suggest I try this type of therapy. It's opened my eyes. These cards are easy to review. Convenient for everyday learning. I needed a tool to help me everyday and this will. I was so excited to receive these I went thru them immediately and will continue to do so.They cover :-Coping strategies,- Tools to accept change- Self-Soothing practices- Increase self-respect- Conflict resolution tipsAll color coded with easy instructions -tips, ideas, calls to action, and brief exercises. My only wish would be they were a stronger laminate since I shall be using them often. Thanks so much for a great tool to help me enrich my life and others.

This deck will make learning and practicing skills so much easier. The first few cards give excellent tips for how to use the deck and each card has an explanation of the skill, how it is used, and a call to action. It would be easy to take a card a day and carry it with you. I intend to have my entire family practice one card per day. My sister had BPD and I have a teenage daughter who inherited the genetic gift of high sensitivity, which I know she can use to her advantage once she masters the ability to regulate emotions. These cards will be a great way for her to identify and practice skills. I think anyone would benefit from these therapeutic techniques.

Just arrived today and I went through them. Nicely color coated for ease. DBT is the framework and foundation of my practice, these are set-up in a way that allows the therapist to meet the client where they are at individually, and make it understandable enough for DBT new comers...dialectical and it’s core. Looking forward to incorporating these into my practice.

love these. I bound each module so I could carry them easily with me in my bag so I always have them.

I really like this excellently-produced deck of cards. I bought a second copy to give to my therapist to use in her practice, and she was delighted with them, too. I use the deck nearly every day as a prompt to think differently about issues I'm dealing with.

While I definitely think this deck was written and produced more for clients, it’s been incredibly helpful to share as the therapist. It has good, basic info and since clients are experts in DBT, it really breaks it down. Also, Instead of using worksheets that seem daunting and potentially overwhelming, we can just go through a couple of cards at a time. I’m glad I added this to my resources!

Dialectical Behavior Therapy is a good way to help clients regulate moods, also enabling them to talk about their challenges.

Some of these cards are great, others are a little confusing for someone with no professional guidance in DBT. But very well made, colourful. Larger than I expected.

Not really useful- can find the information online.. more descriptive

It is beneficial for someone who has a little bit of background knowledge of Psychology and insight into personality disorders and traits. For a complete beginner, this might not be so good. The acronyms are introduced, assuming that we are already aware of them, so overall great product but for slightly trained users.

Awesome I love this deck

Got for daughter for her line of work...Thanks
