Emotional Regulation Workbook Printable, 12 Week DBT Skills Journal with Emotion Wheel, PDF Download

A DBT-informed emotional regulation workbook with a real emotion wheel, intensity chart, and trigger-emotion-action diagram - skills that apply to any emotion, not just one issue.

Some emotions feel bigger than the moment calls for, and once they're running, it can feel like there's no gap between feeling something and acting on it. This 12-week guided journal teaches seven core emotional regulation skills, informed by Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and gives you real space to practice each one on moments from your own life.

Whether you're working with anger, overwhelm, sadness, or anything else that runs hotter than you'd like, the skills - naming emotions precisely, recognizing triggers, distress tolerance, opposite action, and building a lasting regulation plan - apply broadly.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

• 12-week guided program: 84 daily practice pages, 12 weekly reflections, 3 monthly reflections across 7 skill modules
• A real emotion wheel diagram to help you name what you feel with more precision than 'good' or 'bad'
• DBT-informed skills: distress tolerance, opposite action, and a trigger-emotion-action cycle diagram
• 8 distinct practical worksheets: emotion log, trigger tracker, coping plan, opposite action, values clarification, and more
• 92 unique, non-repeating prompts across daily, weekly, and monthly pages
• A full-program progress tracker and milestone check-ins

Adults working with anger, overwhelm, sadness, or any emotion that feels bigger than the moment - not limited to one specific issue.
