The Dialectical Behavior Therapy Wellness Planner is a helpful tool for anyone who struggles with emotional sensitivity and/or Borderline Personality Disorder to use as you work toward creating a healthier, more meaningful life—a life worth living—by balancing acceptance and change.

In Part 1, discover the value and details of mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness. Next, in Part 2, take the Self-Care Assessment and then get started with the Daily Self-Care Tracker. After thirty days, take a new Self-Care Assessment to see how you've grown!

Use the Planner to consistently track and report on your journey to healing. It's a journal that helps you keep everything in one place, and keeps you focused on where you are and where you want to go.

You can use it to:

  • track your emotions and behaviour
  • monitor your progress
  • bring structure into your day

Please note: the planner is not meant as an in-depth education or training on Dialectical Behavior Therapy nor is it meant as a replacement for diary cards or other useful resources in your journey to healing. Instead, it is a supplementary tool for tracking your personal progress.
