The feeling hits before you can think. You snap, shut down, or spiral, and only afterwards do you see how big the reaction was for the moment.
Understanding where it comes from helps. But what most people are missing is something to do while it's happening. That's what DBT and ACT were built for: practical skills you can use mid-reaction, not just insight for afterwards.
This library brings together our eight newest books with the full CBT & DBT skills collection: 20 books in one place, from the person who developed DBT to the psychologist who developed ACT.
