  1. OH WOW!!!!!!
    holy cow, Rachel Gill you are absolutely amazing! this site is an incredible resource for those like myself who are in DBT. this is seriously blowing my mind. i’ve been wanting some reference sheets like this to help me in DBT class and also with my diary cards. it’s a challenge to keep skills and categories (modules, i guess) straight in one’s mind when confusion and memory problems are a daily occurrence. thumbing through my binder to look up the skills and modules is also complicated and confusing sometimes. thank you SO MUCH for this. i’m going to post links wherever i can – tumblr, twitter, facebook, anywhere i can think of.

    thank you Rachel – YOU RULE!! 😀 😀

  7. I have organized all of the DBT handouts and worksheets into a DIY DBT binder, that is very easy to use and understand! Check out my fb page, DBT Resources; I am a BPD patient and never imagined I could feel “normal” and function. Over 16 years, I have studied DBT, mindfulness, Buddhism and psychology, and have started developing my own skills to help us succeed in a life worth living. I wish you all the very best and hope to meet you 🙂 thank you! (tai.k.marker@gmail.com) (Facebook: Taiger Marker, DBT Resources)
