- I am currently in dbt therapy, and this ap is a perfect supplement for when I need to be reminded of these invaluable skills. Very worthwhile for anyone who is or is not in therapy and could use some help and guidance in navigating painful or intense emotions, tough memories, relationship issues, or any other situation that may be difficult without some helpful direction. This ap is practical, easy to use, and an excellent value. I would love to see the incorporation of a diary card with this ap.

- This has been THE most useful app for practicing DBT skills especially since using it on the Nexus 7 tab. The tabs and directions are clear and it is easy to follow the menu path to where I want to go. I also like the notes feature. It helps me become calm when I really need it. A must for every DBT participant.
