description: Let’s face it, the world as it is today wasn’t designed for neurodivergent people!It can be incredibly hard to get through some situations that neurotypical people would consider “basic” or not a big deal. That’s because nothing in the framework of modern society was set up to make life a level playing field for neurodivergent people as it is for neurotypical people.This means that as a neurodivergent, you need tools to help you through the tough times as best as possible. One of the best ways to do this is by working within the framework of Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, also known as DBT.DBT skills are very handy and helpful, but here’s the rub, it’s not often that they’re taught in a way that helps people who are neurodivergent. This is why this workbook has been written. Unlike other books out there, you’ll find this one very practical, and at no point will you be left scratching your head about what to do or how to be better at dealing with life’s stressors. It is written in simple English, and everything you’ll learn is clearly and concisely stated. You’ll be able to pick up these skills easily, working at your own pace.Here the most relevant themes covered:What is neurodivergence?

It’s meant to help you figure out your emotions and regulate them, so they don’t overwhelm you to a crippling point. The exercises here will help you learn healthy coping mechanisms for when you’re overwhelmed. They’ll help you get better at learning what you need, stating those needs clearly, and meeting them yourself when required.
