The DBT program of therapy is aimed at treating Borderline personality Disorder, and was originally developed by Marsha linehan. Taught in community mental health teams, hospital and private practices across the world; it is truly a revolutionary form of therapy, and it revolutionized my life.
 
At one time, I was stuck in the cycle destructive coping mechanisms; self harm, drugs and sex work. My lack of self-awareness prevented me improving in any way.
 
That was, until I was diagnosed with BPD and started Dialectical Behaivoural therapy:  In short, my life changed. Monitoring and managing my mental health has become my full time job. Alongside being a full time mama and an artist, of course.
 
While I did therapy, I created many art pieces that have gone viral within the DBT community, a lot of which were my way of expressing the content of therapy sessions onto paper or a way of refreshing the skills in my mind.
But it wasn’t enough for me to just share the art.
 
I know the healing and recovery power that creativity contains. And I NEED to share it with others.
 
And so, have created a new, ground breaking workbook that builds on the simple yet effective power of the DBT skills. Combining 15 of the skills into a series of creative activities, from colouring to collage, has given a new lease of life to the DBT concept, in a way that is inspiring therapy participants and therapists alike!
 
The E-book has specifically been designed for people who have either previously done or are currently doing dialectical Behaivoural therapy. Each skill page features a quick outline of the skill followed by a creative activity that can broaden your knowledge, provide a reminder or expand self awareness required to practice the skills effectively.

There are many workbooks on the market that claim to help you heal from BPD or other disorder, forever. This is not one of them.
 
This is simply me, as an artist, reaching out to share the thing that saved my life, the only way I know how- through the power of art.
