What does the Choosing A Response Journal cover?

  1. A recent situation that caused you distress
  2. Your first urge or reaction
  3. What happened or could have happened if you acted on it
  4. Which DBT skill could help
  5. An alternative response using that skill and how it would serve you better

Who is this Choosing A Response Journal for?

Helpful if you: 

⚡ React on impulse and regret it later 

🛠️ Have learned DBT skills and want to apply them to real situations 

🤝 Want responses that protect your relationships and self-respect 

 

For therapists: 

Assign Choosing a Response as DBT chain-analysis-style homework after a distressing event. Reviewing the alternative response in session reinforces skill use and supports relapse prevention. Fully HIPAA and GDPR compliant.

The world of CBT has been lacking an app which enables the sharing of CBT worksheets and homework tasks between clients and therapists, but Offload completely does this, making the service we offer more professional and the benefits to clients greater.”
