Description
This is not your traditional DBT workbook.
With over 100,000 copies sold worldwide, the second edition of The Neurodivergent Friendly Workbook of DBT Skills is finally here and reimagines DBT skills including interpersonal effectiveness through a neurodiversity affirming lens.
Neurodivergent distress isnt just emotional distress. Many of us experience sensory overload, meltdowns, demand avoidance and nervous system overwhelm, as a result of living in a world that isnt designed for our differences.
This workbook acknowledges that reality.
Because traditional DBT resources arent neurodivergent friendly, this workbook reimagines DBT skills and provides neurodiversity affirming worksheets, information and prompts on sensory regulation, meltdown support, burnout, understanding our capacity, self-advocacy, stimming, special interests, communication needs, accessible mindfulness and more.
Written by an Autistic ADHDer, this workbook guides you through neurodivergent friendly DBT skills adapted to work with your mind and differences, not against them. Instead of rigid rules, compliance-based strategies or skills that reinforce neuronormativity, youll find practical and compassionate tools designed to support neurodivergent people across six different areas:
Everyday Well-being
Mindfulness
Distress Tolerance
Emotional Regulation
Sensory Needs
Interpersonal Effectiveness
Each section is colour-coordinated to stay visually engaging with a wide variety of tools, worksheets, and reflections throughout.
This workbook will help you:
Understand your needs
Strengthen self-advocacy skills
Express and set boundaries
Understand your communication needs
Build emotional awareness
Understand your sensory needs
Create sensory strategies
Build meaningful social connections
Respond to meltdowns with compassionately
Respond to distress in ways that work for you
And more.
This fully revised second edition includes a brand new chapter on Interpersonal Effectiveness as well as new and updated tools and skills in the other chapters.
Whether youre a mental health professional, a parent or a neurodivergent person, youll enjoy and benefit from this workbook.
