When you have difficulties managing your emotions, it can feel like you're losing control of your whole life. Anger, hurt, grief, worry, and other intense feelings can be overwhelming, and how you react to these emotions can impact your ability to maintain relationships, succeed at work, or even think straight! If you find it difficult to understand, express, and process intense emotions - and most of us do - this book is for you.

Calming the Emotional Storm is your guide to coping with difficult emotions calmly and responsibly by using powerful skills from dialectical behavior therapy. This method combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to change the way you respond to stressful situations. By practicing these skills, you can stop needless emotional suffering and develop the inner resilience that will help you weather any emotional storm.

Although some might be attracted to the book by the title, others (that might REALLY benefit) might be turned off by it. It's an excellent book, promoting a far better understanding of self, needs and skills to improve effective emotional management AND communication with self and others! It bridges the gaps we have between words/language and a deep understanding of what things really mean and how to apply it all. Chapters end with summarized key points, exercises and tips! Extremely well thought out and written.

Don't let title throw you off

I'd definitely recommend this book to others as it provided immediate assistance in me dealing with my emotions. However I would prep them that the recording itself is pretty rough, especially in the beginning. You could literally hear where they were splicing the recordings together in editing and the lady's voice sounded extremely robotic throughout the book. But hey it's a small thing compared to the actual knowledge and skills gained. Thank you for this book and thank you for making it audio book as well.

Great Lessons and info, but terrible recording

An easy and practical approach to learning DBT skills. The narrator and author do a great job with this one. Highly recommend.

I was diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder a few years ago and I’ve been trying pretty much everything I’ve seen in ways of Dialectical Behavior Therapy and most are pretty dry and hard to get into without falling asleep. This was easy to listen to and I found the narrator very soothing. I plan on listening to this over and over because it has a lot of helpful information.

Nonjudgmental approach with a pleasant tone of voice. I will likely listen to again and buy the book if there isn’t a pdf. (Needed) Is there a pdf. Why 15 word minimum review?

Applicability to daily life.

this is a great addition to the dbt book. I took the classes years ago and this is a great reminder of how to keep things in control that seem out of reach

great reality-based
