In this breakthrough new workbook, a psychologist who has had amazing results treating patients with emotional problems, helps all of us gain the upper hand on our feelings and our lives.

Many of us know the helpless predicament of losing control of our emotions. We may not be clinically "crazy" but instead "high reactors," experiencing overpowering feelings that knock us off balance, plunge us into depression, make us fly off the handle, or terrify us without warning.

We can anticipate, understand, avoid and replace these "high reactions" by applying the methods of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). DBT is an eclectic mix of cognitive-behavioral techniques, skills training, Zen, and existentialism, that has been honed for the treatment of the highest reactors among us.

From the Inside Flap

Do you feel out of control of your emotions?

Many of us know the awful predicament of losing control of our emotions. We may not be clinically "crazy" but instead "high reactors," experiencing overpowering feelings that knock us off balance, plunge us into depression, make us fly off the handle, or terrify us without warning.

In this breakthrough new workbook, a therapist who has had amazing results treating patients who have problems managing their emotions, helps all of us gain the upper hand on our feelings and our lives.

The proven effective techniques contained in Don’t Let Your Emotions Run Your Life help us anticipate, understand, avoid, and replace these "high reactions" by applying the methods of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). The therapeutic technique of DBT is an eclectic mix of cognitive behavioral techniques, skills training, and Buddhist wisdom.

Step-by-step he’ll show you how to eliminate overpowering feelings so that you may go on to tolerate life’s ongoing stresses with a sense of calm co-existence with your emotions.

"Many people feel emotionally out of control—their overpowering feelings trap them in bouts of anger, depression, and panic. DBT is a proven, highly effective treatment to reduce the impact of painful emotions and increase the effect of positive ones. Therapists are lining up at workshops to learn the groundbreaking techniques this book can teach you. I strongly recommend this book."
