Today I started my training as a DBT Therapist ๐Ÿง 

Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a type of psychotherapy. Itโ€™s based on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), but itโ€™s specially adapted for people who experience emotions very intensely. (DBT) is especially effective for people who have difficulty managing and regulating their emotions.

DBT has proven to be effective for treating and managing a wide range of mental health conditions, including:

โžก๏ธEmotionally Unstable Personality Disorder (EUPD), previously known as Borderline personality disorder (BPD).
โžก๏ธSelf-harm.
โžก๏ธSuicidal behavior.
โžก๏ธPost-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
โžก๏ธSubstance use disorder.
โžก๏ธEating disorders, specifically binge eating disorder and bulimia.
โžก๏ธDepression.
โžก๏ธAnxiety.

Itโ€™s also effective with Neurodivergence, focusing on the management of intense emotions, reducing sensory overload, and improving interpersonal skills without requiring neurotypical masking.

Your inner child still lives inside you.
They remember what felt safe, what felt scary, and what felt like love.
Healing isnโ€™t about changing the past, itโ€™s about giving that child what they needed then.
Be the adult you once needed. ๐ŸŒป

Coming soon โญ๏ธ

This workbook is grounded in my hands-on experience of working closely with children and parents who often struggle to understand their childโ€™s needs through a neurodivergent lens.
I have seen first-hand how neurodivergent children are frequently misunderstood. Behaviours that are perceived as defiance, laziness, or poor behaviour are often rooted in sensory overload, communication difficulties, anxiety, or unmet needs. When parents are not given the tools or language to understand these differences, it can lead to frustration on both sides and strain the parentโ€“child relationship.
Equally, I have witnessed the powerful shift that occurs when parents begin to view their child through a neurodivergent lens. Understanding how a childโ€™s brain processes information differently allows parents to respond with empathy rather than correction, curiosity rather than punishment, and support rather than expectation.

I have developed this workbook to bridge the gap between professional knowledge and everyday family life. It reflects real experiences, real challenges, and real conversations with parents who want to do their best for their child but may not yet understand how. The strategies and reflections included are practical, compassionate, and achievable, recognising that every child and every family is unique.
Above all, this workbook aims to empower parents. By increasing awareness of neurodivergence and offering a new way of interpreting behaviour, parents can feel more confident in meeting their childโ€™s needs, advocating within school settings, and building stronger, more connected relationships at home.
