Mindfulness & Distress Tolerance — DBT Workbook Bundle (Books 1 & 2)

Two workbooks. One honest toolkit. 63 pages of DBT skills in the language you actually need when you're struggling.

This is the DBT Skills Made Simple bundle — Book 1 (Mindfulness Made Simple, 31 pages) and Book 2 (Distress Tolerance Made Simple, 32 pages) together. Written by Ellen Shearn (BPD & I) — someone who lives with BPD, anxiety, and the full orchestra. No jargon. No pressure. Just the version you wish someone had handed you in the middle of it all.

Book 1 — Mindfulness Made Simple (31 pages): the Wise Mind concept, Observe/Describe/Participate, non-judgmental stance, one-mindfulness, effectiveness, grounding exercises and reflection prompts.

Book 2 — Distress Tolerance Made Simple (32 pages): the STOP skill, TIPP skills for calming your body fast, pros and cons, ACCEPTS (distracting with purpose), self-soothe with the five senses, IMPROVE the moment, reality acceptance and willingness.

File details: two PDFs, 74 pages total, instant digital download — nothing physical shipped. Print at home or use digitally on a tablet with GoodNotes, Notability, or similar. Start with Mindfulness when you're steady. Reach for Distress Tolerance when you're not. Both are progress.

For personal use only — please don't resell or redistribute it.

Part of the DBT Skills Made Simple series: Book 1 Mindfulness Made Simple, Book 2 Distress Tolerance Made Simple, Book 3 Emotion Regulation Made Simple (coming soon), Book 4 Interpersonal Effectiveness Made Simple (coming soon).

You don't have to do it perfectly. You don't have to do any of it. Just open the page. Sit with it. That's the work.
