THE MINDFULNESS SOLUTION FOR INTENSE EMOTIONS

Millions of Americans suffer from emotion regulation disorders, such as borderline personality disorder (BPD), post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and severe depression. Developed by foreword writer Marsha
Linehan, dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) is a clinically proven, evidence-based treatment for intense emotions. In this book, readers will learn seven powerful skills that highlight the unique connection between
mindfulness and emotion regulation. Each skill is designed to help them find focus in the present moment, reduce impulsive behavior, and increase a sense of connection to their true selves—even during times of extreme stress or difficulty.

Cedar R. Koons, MSW, LCSW, has had a mindfulness practice for over forty years. She's assisted at numerous retreats with Marsha Linehan, Roshi, and more. As a therapist, DBT team leader, researcher, trainer, and consultant, Koons has taught the skills she describes in this book to people struggling to
find relief from intense emotions. She resides in Dixon, NM.
