thepizzasmeow's review against another edition
5.0
I won this in a Goodreads giveaway and, as a counseling student, it is one of the more helpful books I've read towards practicing and teaching mindfulness from a DBT perspective. There are several, very easy to do exercises and ideas for each skill, which will be great for individual one-on-one skills training, group skills training, or for practicing by yourself. Each mindfulness skill was explained in a concise and very clear way and was backed up with examples. I appreciated how Cedar Koons anticipated the areas people might question the usefulness or practicality of mindfulness and provided answers that alleviated my own skepticism. It was a very accessible read that will be useful for anyone wanting to practice mindfulness or learn DBT skills, not specifically just those with intense emotions or with Borderline Personality Disorder. I'll likely consult this more frequently than the DBT skills manual when it comes to needing examples or ideas for clients.
