DBT for Life: Skills to transform the way you live
$34.99 Paperback (also available on Apple E-books for $9.99)
“Creating DBT for Life: Skills to transform the way you live was a nine-year labor of love. I started writing down the stories that I use when I teach, then I hired artists to create beautiful renderings of the images in my head. I wanted to create a book that is a true pleasure to spend time with. The stories deal with difficult topics—after all, those of us who end up in DBT usually have painful histories full of difficult topics. So I wanted those topics to be presented in a welcoming environment. I want you to fall in love with DBT skills, just like I did. These skills saved my life.”
—Diana Partington, LPC-MHSP, M.Ed, author of DBT for Life: Skills to transform the way you live
What experts are saying about DBT for Life: Skills to transform the way you live
“There are so many ways to engage with DBT for Life. The stories, illustrations, graphics and straightforward language offer different types of learners easy access to the complex, evidence based toolkit of skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy. This is a wonderful work of heart, filled with wisdom and practical ways to enhance how our minds work and how our relationships can flourish in everyday life.”
Daniel, J., Siegel, MD, New York Times best-selling author of Aware and IntraConnected.
“Diana Partington’s book, DBT for Life, is a rare gift. It is practical, eminently readable!—and at the same time literally has the power to change your life. DBT is the treatment of choice for those of us who struggle with reactivity, too-strong emotions that flood and leave us not living in our wisest, most centered ways. This clear, actionable rendering of DBT Skills immediately guides and empowers—it offers hope and freedom.”
Terrence Real, New York Times best-selling author of The New Rules of Marriage, and How Can I Get Through to You.
“DBT for Life is an intentionally inclusive book. The diversity represented in the stories and illustrations send a clear message: All are welcome here. These skills are universally helpful for all of us..”
Deran Young, Licensed Clinical Social Worker, nationally recognized speaker, and Founder and CEO of Black Therapists Rock
