You likely have an incredible sense of responsibility, attention to detail, and strong work ethic--all of which have led you to great success in your life. But did you know that the characteristics that make you so successful can also make you lonely, anxious, or depressed?If you struggle to express vulnerability and build emotional connection in relationships, you may have a disorder of overcontrol (OC).

Luckily, there is help. Radically open dialectical behavior therapy (RO DBT) is a breakthrough, evidence-based treatment supported by twenty years of clinical research, and targets a spectrum of disorders characterized by excessive self-control. This workbook offers skills based in RO DBT to help you find a balance between your successful traits and your mental well-being. The Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy Workbook tackles the loneliness that lies at the heart of disorders of overcontrol, and encourages strong social connections as a powerful tool for recovery. In this step-by-step workbook, you'll learn to identify where you are on the OC spectrum, find practical exercises for self-reflection and self-enquiry, and discover tools to help you connect with others on a deeper, more meaningful level. You'll also find strategies to help you deal with criticism, improve your ability to read complex social signals, and approach others with more trust and an open mind and heart. If you're tired of being at the mercy of your need for control and the impact it has on your life and relationships, this compassionate and groundbreaking workbook can help you, every step of the way.
