Dialectical Behavioral Therapy for DID--The Workbook

This workbook has been intentionally created to honor all your parts—and embrace 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 body-based 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. • Values-Guided 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 check-ins, mindful activity breaks, and bonus exercises like “Difficult Emotions Decisions Tree” and “Pain, Damage, Illness” mapping, this workbook is grounded in care, compassion, and consent. It offers overviews of key concepts like the “Window of Tolerance” and “Safe-Enough versus Safe,” inviting you to build supportive containers for 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 your journey through the book.
