Impulse DBT vs DBT Skills Guide

Impulse DBT is an invaluable tool for those who need to keep track of daily impulses for Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Record any number of impulses just by tapping the screen. Later on, fill details such as emotions, skills and personal notes. Finally, send a weekly report to your therapist with ease!

The moment you need a DBT skill is rarely the moment you can go looking for one. DBT Skills Guide puts them where you can reach them: on your phone, fully offline, no account, nothing to set up. A Right Now button on the first screen, and a widget for your home or lock screen, go straight to the skills for a hard moment without any navigating. WHAT IS INSIDE An index of every skill, searchable by name or by what is inside it, for when you remember the skill but not which session taught it. Twelve sessions covering the mindfulness and distress tolerance modules of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Mindfulness: Wise Mind, the What skills (Observe, Describe, Participate) and the How skills (Non-judgmentally, One-mindfully, Effectively), plus a deeper set of Observe practices you can do anywhere. Distress tolerance: STOP, for the moment before you act on an urge. TIP, for when your body needs to come down fast. ACCEPTS and IMPROVE, for getting through without making things worse. Self-soothing through the five senses. Radical Acceptance and Half-Smiling, for pain you cannot change. Three worksheets you can fill in and keep. WHY EACH SKILL WORKS Every skill carries a short explanation you can tap open: what it is doing, and how strongly the evidence actually supports it. TIP rests on well-established physiology. Wise Mind is a teaching model rather than something anyone can measure. We say which is which, because knowing why a skill works makes you more likely to reach for it. PRIVATE BY DESIGN Everything stays on your device. No account, no sign-in, no analytics, no network requests of any kind. Practice reminders are scheduled locally and nothing leaves your phone. A DAILY REMINDER, IF YOU WANT ONE Off until you turn it on. Pick a time and the app nudges you once a day. A NOTE This is a practice aid, not therapy, and not a substitute for care from a professional. If you are in crisis, please contact your local emergency services or a crisis line.
