Summary
When you have difficulties managing your emotions, it can feel like you're losing control of your whole life. Anger, hurt, grief, worry, and other intense feelings can be overwhelming, and how you react to these emotions can impact your ability to maintain relationships, succeed at work, or even think straight! If you find it difficult to understand, express, and process intense emotions - and most of us do - this book is for you.
Calming the Emotional Storm is your guide to coping with difficult emotions calmly and responsibly by using powerful skills from dialectical behavior therapy. This method combines cognitive behavioral techniques with mindfulness practices to change the way you respond to stressful situations. By practicing these skills, you can stop needless emotional suffering and develop the inner resilience that will help you weather any emotional storm.

basic... at best
Very little on actual skills teaching, vignettes, evidence bases, case studies. Repetitive... really repetitive and blaringly obvious and oversimplified in its approach. couldn't stand the emotionless, robotic narrator either.
As a therapist looking into training in DBT, I got nothing out of it and I can imagine this audiobook would verge on insulting client intelligence, too.

Terrible
This audio book stops at 3 minutes. Does not continue playing so a pointless purchase. This is why a regular paper book is better. If someone is able to advise me on how to sort this problem out, please advise me.

recommended for anyone who struggles...
I suffer from severe atypical depression, anxiety and I have attention deficit disorder, this book is really helpful. Combining mindfulness and DBT with meds can really do the job. remember - right medication and lots of changes in thinking, you can do it and start being happy again! But please don't neglect any of the aspects. Release yourself from your ego, embrace everything you feel and experience. good luck to everyone who are still fighting <3

Don't let title throw you off
Although some might be attracted to the book by the title, others (that might REALLY benefit) might be turned off by it. It's an excellent book, promoting a far better understanding of self, needs and skills to improve effective emotional management AND communication with self and others! It bridges the gaps we have between words/language and a deep understanding of what things really mean and how to apply it all. Chapters end with summarized key points, exercises and tips! Extremely well thought out and written.

Excellent Intorduction to Borderline Personality
If you could sum up Calming the Emotional Storm in three words, what would they be?
Easy to learn.
What about Rebecca Roberts’s performance did you like?
She reads in a calm, pleasant manner.
Any additional comments?
Calming the emotional storm is a great introduction into learning skills to help if you suffer from borderline personality disorder or are simply a person easily overwhelmed by your emotions. This book has been life changing for me. I listened to it during a rough period in my life. By using the easy to learn skills in this book, I was able to get through this rough period and manage my life.

Helpful ideas for self-awareness and self-control
I had thought mindfulness was just for relaxation, but in this book I found out it can also be used to increase self-awareness and lead to greater self-control. With lots of practice, of course. As you apply mindfulness to past experiences, present experiences, or just use it during various activities, it can help you to eventually gain more insight into your behavior and emotions and more objectivity in your personal interpretations of the world, thereby helping you to learn to choose how you act, instead of automatically reacting. This is exactly what I need and can be applied to those with a variety of issues - chemical dependency, depression, anxiety, anger management, eating disorders, etc. I haven't gotten too far with practicing yet, as I've only started to try, but this information made a lot of sense to me, so I plan on using it more and more. Just the hope that it's giving me is already improving my mood. I want to keep going with this momentum.

Very helpful!
Would you listen to Calming the Emotional Storm again? Why?
I will most definitely listen again because this book put the information in an easy to understand way and even those who have never gone through DBT can understand what is being said and suggested.
Any additional comments?
This is a fantastic self-help book for those looking to learn more about their emotional selves and how to find a happy medium between chaos and calm within ourselves.

Great Inspiration
This audiobook has been so helpful for me. I listen to it in my car and at home. It is relaxing and has given me insight to the tools to use to keep me on track. I have taken DBT training and have DBT skills cards I use daily while journaling. This adds another element to keeping in line thru my daily struggles with Bipolar

Extreme helpful with many good examples
I probably have very mild symptoms of the extreme cases spoken about in this book. I would guess almost anyone will benefit from it. For me it was peticularly useful for building skills relating to work management. Wish I could use Sheri in real life!
