Sheri van DijkDon't Let Your Emotions Run Your Life for Teens, Second Edition: Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills for Helping You Manage Mood Swings, Control Angry Outbursts, and Get Along with Others

I use this book to teach adults. It is easy to follow and great teaching and reference. Thank you to the author 🙏 ❤️

Excellent booklet

This workbook has been a great adjunct to my work with teens struggling with emotional dysregulation and/or suicidal or non-suicidal self-injury impulses. I have found it very useful for introducing concepts and teaching DBT skills to those teens who are not eligible or otherwise have missed out on the opportunity for the full DBT program. Instead, I have them work through the exercises and chapters at home, then review and expand on their learning in clinic sessions. A great alternative for some young people.

I am a School Social Worker at a public high school and have been using Sheri's first edition and now her second edition of this book with my coping skills groups for the past several years. I have seen tremendous growth from the participants and this is largely do to the way DBT is broken down to a very practical and personal way. I highly recommend this book to all clinicians working with students/ clients who struggle with anger, aggressive behavior, self-injury, suicidal ideations and attempts, hospitalizations, and eating disorders. The participants leave the group with a much deeper understanding of themselves and how to make their thoughts, feelings, and behavior work for them.

good book
