About this app

"I've tried other DBT apps and none of them come close to this one. It's a real life saver... literally!" - DG110378
"I'm so glad to see someone help people who does DBT. VERY VERY good app." - celebration72

Dialectical Behavior Therapy Skills are a must, not just for people who have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder), but for just about anyone living in this world alongside others.

Are they necessary skills? No. Could anyone benefit from them? Yes.

DBT Skills Groups are booked out weeks and often times months in advance. This means that if you want to get in one, you may be waiting for a long long time, especially if NOW is when you need help.

DBT Skills Groups focus on SKILLS. This means that practicing the skills is much more important than anything else. And luckily, once you learn the skills, you will retain them for the rest of your life!

If you are practicing DBT Skills and want a Diary Card, this app is great for you since it has the following:
• A Calendar to add a Daily Diary Card with 28 DBT skills.
• Descriptions of each skill if you forget
• Examples of each skill
• Statistical information based on 1 day, 7 days, 28 days, or ALL records. That way if you are in a weekly DBT class, you can easily see which skills you have been focusing on, and which you have been missing.
• A Notification reminder that you can set to remind you daily at a specific time to do your DBT Skills Diary Card.
• Beautiful photos and artwork along with a backdrop that changes based on what season we are in (Summer, Autumn, Winter, Spring).
• Add your own music to the DBT Skills Diary Card to make the experience more enjoyable.
• Full Version Users: You can now send PDF files with your diary card stats + notes via email, or print to your AirPrint printer straight from within the app. Email your therapist/counselor with just a few taps in an easy to read and print format!
• As part of our series of DBT apps, your progress will be saved between apps as well, so you'll have access to all your data no matter which DBT app you are in.
• Unlock more than 1 type of Diary Card so you can continue doing your daily card in a format that fits your lifestyle!
• Want to track extra information? Though DBT classes don't require it, you can add custom tracking data for each Daily Diary Card entry. Of course, since this is optional, you simply need to toggle it on to start tracking right away.
a) Track Anxiety and Depression using a modified K10 test.
b) Track Target Behaviors and your response to them.

Ratings and reviews

This is the first DBT diary card app I've used. At first, I couldn't find the option to edit "target behaviors." If that hadn't been resolved, I would have deleted the app and tried another. I was able to e-mail the developer using the Contact option in the app. The developer replied very quickly and was patient in helping me understand how to edit the "target behaviors." I've tried many different wellness tracking apps over the years and know what I like and don't like. This is a great app.

This is simple and straight forward. It would be better if you could actually write a little journal entry with it. The floating bubble goes away after you use it for a few days and unlock other cards. The graph is useful and if they set it up so you can email your daily cards to your therapist it would be great!

Unfortunately the chaotic and disruptive design just makes this unusable for me. Having to wait several seconds for every selection because of the completely unnecessary bubble mechanic is extremely frustrating. The music changing with every question is also quite jarring. I didn't even get through a single diary card before i determined i couldn't use this.
