    Do you love acronyms (abbreviations formed from the initial letters of other words)? Then congrats, because this book is a goldmine of CBT, DBT, and everything in between. It's like someone took all those motivational Instagram quotes and added real, practical step-by-step guides to actually make them useful. Angry about losing your parking spot? There's a skill for that. Stressed by your boss emailing on a Sunday? There's a breathing exercise for that too. It's practical, straightforward, and full of real-life tools, like a therapist decided to cut the fluff and just give us the serious techniques we need. The Decider Flowchart is simple and easy to follow, it lays out a clear path from feeling overwhelmed to finding a sense of calm. Sure, it can be a bit repetitive at times, yes, we get it, breathing is important, but that's kind of the point. And no, there’s no magic cure for Monday mornings (sorry), but it does help make them slightly less awful with some radical acceptance tips. Just know that you actually have to do the exercises; this isn't one of those "just read and be better" books. Bottom line: if you're tired of fluffy pep talks and want real tools to level up your coping skills, this one's for you. It's practical, effective, and honestly a worthwhile investment for anyone looking to genuinely improve their coping skills.

    Deciding to help yourself is the hardest part, but this book makes the rest surprisingly doable.

    I cannot stress this enough, if you are here and reading this review you've already taken the most important step which is to seek help/advice. Just buy the book!!

    The Decider Skills for Self Help is a fantastic book for anyone looking to improve their mental health and build resilience. It combines the best of CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behaviour Therapy), offering practical exercises and tools that you can apply in your daily life to enhance coping skills and confidence.

    I particularly like how the book is structured—each chapter is clear, concise, and easy to follow, with step-by-step guidance on how to use the techniques effectively. The skills introduced, such as how to manage emotions, reduce negative thinking, and increase self-awareness, have helped me handle stressful situations more calmly and with more confidence.

    What’s great about this book is that it doesn’t just explain the theory behind CBT and DBT but also provides real, actionable strategies to implement. Whether you’re looking to improve your emotional regulation, build resilience, or simply develop a more positive mindset, this book is full of useful advice and exercises.

    Overall, The Decider Skills for Self Help is an empowering read and a valuable resource for anyone looking to improve their mental wellbeing. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in self-help, mental health improvement, or building emotional resilience!
