The Couples' DBT Playbook: Step-by-Step Dialectical Behavior Therapy Strategies to Cool Conflict, Restore Trust, and Finally Relax Together (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798259168725)

Every couple argues. But when the same conflicts repeat-getting louder, colder, or more painful each time-it can start to feel like nothing will ever change.

It can.

The Couples' DBT Playbook brings the proven skills of Dialectical Behavior Therapy into everyday relationships, giving couples practical tools to handle conflict, rebuild connection, and communicate in healthier ways.

No jargon.
No blame.
No empty advice to "just talk more."

Instead, you'll learn clear, step-by-step strategies for the moments that matter most-when emotions run high, when resentment builds, or when distance has replaced closeness.

Inside, you'll discover how to:

• Stop arguments before they spiral out of control
• Communicate needs without criticism or defensiveness
• Manage anger, shutdowns, and emotional overwhelm
• Repair trust after hurtful moments or betrayal
• Set healthy boundaries with respect and care
• Deepen intimacy through honesty, empathy, and emotional safety
• Build a calmer, stronger partnership that lasts

These tools won't create a perfect relationship.

They'll help you build a real one-more regulated, more connected, and more resilient.

Whether your relationship is in crisis or simply ready for something deeper, The Couples' DBT Playbook offers the roadmap to move forward together
