If you’re not accepting something, you’ll be so busy fighting that reality that you don’t have the energy to put towards trying to change it” (Tartakovsky, 2015).

Overall, I think this book is good if you're starting out on your journey with mental health and wanting to get better. This is a lifelong journey and this book your companion if you need to rebalance your IQ : EQ balance and work on your interpersonal effectiveness skills. It's like the authors aren't asking themselves what is the cause that drives their clients to be so volatile and that to me is what is lacking in this book.

I feel like I have gotten better at practicing mindfulness to calm myself from panic attacks and other scary situations. For people who are familiar with DBT, you’ll notice that this book doesn’t make a lot of use of the common acronyms for groups of skills; for example, while ABC PLEASE is described, that acronym isn’t used.
