About this app

Learn DBT skills and practise them in everyday life

Want to prepare for a difficult conversation, explore your feelings or take a mindful pause? Marcus'Mend helps you learn and practise skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT).

The app combines explanations with guided exercises. Choose a familiar skill, start with an everyday situation or use the emotion compass to find a starting point.

YOUR TOOLS

• Emotion compass: Explore feelings such as fear, anger and sadness and discover related practice options.

• Step-by-step training: Work through skills using prompts and your own notes. Practise expressing your needs with DEAR MAN, maintaining relationships with GIVE or protecting your self-respect with FAST.

• Practice scenarios: Apply what you have learned to everyday situations and use the examples as a starting point for your training.

• Practice questions: Check your understanding with quizzes and read explanations of the answers.

• Mindful pause: Make time for guided breathing and mindfulness exercises.

• DBT lexicon: Look up terms and explore the methods in more detail.

The skill selection includes 6 bundles and 32 individual skills covering mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. Examples include TIPP, STOP, Radical Acceptance, Check the Facts and Opposite Action.

ENGLISH, GERMAN, FRENCH AND SPANISH
Switch languages directly in the app. Use the exercises for independent learning or to complement practice between therapy sessions.
