By: Sheri Van Dijk MSW

Narrated by: Rebecca Roberts

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.

So helpful

Excellent book with simple and effective skills that i now use daily. Highly recommend. Could benefit basically everyone. Focuses on practical mindfulness skills.

Great Lessons and info, but terrible recording

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.

very informative with lots of tools

this book can only give an insight to borderline personality disorder It also gave lots of tools to use which most other books do not.

Written in plain English

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

Very helpful

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.
