Having the capacity to benefit from emotions, rather than being
paralyzed by them, offers people the opportunity to navigate
difficulties, while being able to face life, relationships, and
themselves with courage, grace, and strength. In "The Skills System
Instructor's Guide," author Julie F. Brown provides a curriculum
for helping people improve emotion regulation capacities, which
allows the person to actively participate in both joyful and
challenging aspects of life.
The guide presents nine simple, user-friendly adaptive coping
skills effective for individuals of diverse learning abilities.
Based on Dialectic Behavior Therapy principles, the Skills System
helps people of all ages learn to effectively regulate emotions,
thoughts, and actions to reach personal goals. PRAISE FOR "The
Skills System Instructor's Guide"
"In this instructor's guide, Julie Brown provides a clear
step-by-step introduction to the emotion regulation skills
curriculum that she has developed over the course of two decades of
work with individuals with learning challenges and emotional
difficulties. Brown succeeds admirably where few others have even
dared to set foot. Complex emotion regulation challenges are broken
down into manageable problems using a series of steps that people
of many different skill levels can apply for themselves. At once
simple and sophisticated, this guide is a must for anyone who works
with, or cares for, someone with emotion regulation
difficulties."
