## What is DBT Emotion Regulation Tools?

Emotion Regulation Skills are meant to:
- Stop Unwanted Emotions from happening in the first place
- Stop or Reduce Unwanted Emotions once they start

How this app will help you:

Like all our 'Tools' apps, we'll start you off with a description of what DBT is. While DBT is a set of skills, there is also a sort of culture around it. And a way of teaching/learning it. Getting an overview of what DBT is, you can easily see where the skills fit in, and where you can most effectively integrate them into your day-to-day.

Then we'll go over the 7 DBT Emotional Regulation skills:
• Describe Emotions
• Opposite Action
• Problem Solving
• Accumulate Positives
• Build Mastery, Cope Ahead
• PLEASE
• Mindfulness of Current Emotion

Finally, we'll start you off using the Interactive Tools:
• Understand My Emotion: A common thought is that we feel some way for no reason at all. But did you know that ALL emotions have a reason behind them? Not only that, but they have a specific purpose. The stronger the emotion, the more you should probably look at it. Typically though, there are 3 main reasons:
  A) To Motivate Us,
  B) To Communicate to Others,
  C) To Give Ourself Information
Use this tool to help make sense of your emotions. Even if you dislike how you feel, there is a good reason for how you feel. By understanding why we feel the way we do, we can adjust our trajectory to more effectively improve our situation.

• Emotional Myth Checklist: A common list of beliefs we may have about ourselves or the world we live in. Use this checklist to look more realistically at yourself. And then evaluate if you have these beliefs. By reducing the number of these that you have, you will be empowering yourself.

• Short-Term Happiness: Learn the importance of short-term happiness and how it actually has a great influence on your long-term happiness as well. Then use this tool to help you increase the number of daily positives in your life. You shouldn't live for the short-term, but neither should you live for the long-term.

• Long-Term Happiness: The opposite of Short-Term Happiness, Long-Term happiness cannot be neglected either. Use this tool to help you identify realistic goals, start them, and get the ball rolling.

• Observe & Describe Emotion: Did you know that Emotions are like the wind? They come and go, and will continue to come and go. Sometimes strong, or just a breeze. Sometimes none at all. But they keep coming. By seeing your emotions for what they are, your brain will give you a sense of calm. Use this tool to help you see Emotions for what they are. Not only can it help to deflate negative emotions, but by doing this, we can keep ourselves on track with being our best self.

• Opposite Action Calculator: If you've ever tried Opposite Action, you know it's not intuitive. Use this tool to prep for stressful situations or do Opposite Action on the spot.

• Values & Priorities: This is a tool to help you go through dozens of common Values & Priorities in your life and figure out which are most important. Ever feel like you're wasting your life doing things you don't want to be doing? This is the tool for you. Use it to help align what you do with what is most important.

• My PLEASE Status: These are the skills that your parents probably taught you that as an adult you may completely overlook. Use this tool to help check up on the basics.

Many of these tools are powerful while you're first learning DBT. But they are also incredibly powerful as a refresher. Beginners and Advanced DBT practitioners will find value in this app now, and for years to come.

* Note that this app can integrate with the Health App by adding 'Mindful Minutes' when you complete Opposite Action Calculator' and 'Understand My Emotion' entries. This is optional.

### 1/5 — Unuseable - too bad

*2018-03-25*

I’m a therapist and purchased the app to see if it would be a useful tool for my clients and it is useless - too many distracting images that interfere with reading - print waaaaay too small - such a waste of money - I wish I could get a refund - I feel like I threw 22$ in the garbage.  Do not buy this

**Developer response:** Hi Igmgom!

Thanks for the review! I see you wrote this review back in version 1.6. Since then, I've rewritten this app (and all my DBT apps) from scratch and we're up to version 3.0. Some of the issues you found should be addressed - no more distracting images, font size is now relative to your own device's Settings.

If you're interested, you should be able to redownload this app for free and take a second look at it. It's no Facebook quality app, but it's a big improvement. If you do decide to try it out, let me know if there are any glaring issues and I'll try to iron out the wrinkles.

Thanks again for taking the time to write the review, and thank you for helping people yourself :) It's really a wonderful thing to help people the way you do and I admire that greatly :)

### 3/5 — Emotion regulation

*2018-03-06, version 1.6*

It is a great tool for attending to an issue in a logical way.  I find some of the background graphics a bit busy, the snow distracts me, however the practice is excellent!

### 3/5 — Good idea, but needs work

*2017-02-21*

I like the concept of this app, especially the "opposite action calculator" however, the font is extremely small making it difficult to use. Even with reading glasses it is small. If the font were larger, I'd definitely give this more stars. I find I'm focused on trying to read it rather than focusing on learning the skills.

### 1/5 — Waste of $$

*2016-06-14*

Very little info. very hard to navigate. I can't even read it because it's so small

### 1/5 — beware of the SCAM!

*2016-03-13*

This app is a scam.  Just a few lines copied from the Internet.  Minute letters, awful presentation.... No real tool or tracking!!  Useless!

   This app is a BIG SCAM!!  ,  and it had to be made with fraudulent intentions, just to take $$$ from App Store  customers!!!   

It should be removed from the App Store.  I can't believe I paid $22.99 for this bundle.   Even if it was free, still garbage!

### 1/5 — Rip off ! Waste of £5.99 this app seller is a con artist for depressed people

*2015-06-02*

""""Don't dare buy this £5.99 app """"It's completely USELESS.  Rip off con merchant ! 

You may as write down your feelings on a scrap of paper !
 No info on this app . It's a pure rip off CON .

 The app creator ; I don't know how you sleep at night ? WITH THIS USELESS £5.99 RUBBISH APP! 

This app firm need reporting !  ...., As they are conning sick / seriously clinical depressed people 
in to thinking this DBT self help app can HELP people .

I want a refund !!! 

I am reporting this company to off com

### 5/5 — So happy to have this great tool!!

*2015-02-09*

I used one tool so far. Understanding emotions. It walked me through my experience with pointed questions. In a few minutes I was able to find a door out of an hours long tenacious negative bind. This was like having a mini therapy/class session right when I was in the thick of it. Thanks for the small font help. Just taping on the little font brought up a readable window.

### 5/5 — Great app

*2014-10-23*

Great app, very useful, 5 stars. The font is really small though

### 1/5 — Font too small!

*2014-09-22*

Virtually unusable because the font is too small to read :(

### 1/5 — Utter garbage

*2014-08-22, version 1.4*

This app is disappointing, very little functionality, zero skill work, you can't even see the skills or acronyms! I quite literally want my 7.99$ back as this is not even worth the cellular data to download. If I could give less than one star I would.
