I'm thinking about going through one of them with my t, if she thinks either one of them would help me. At the moment, we are reviewing DBT chapters. I understand the DBT concepts and coping skills. But dissociation seems to take away the benefit of learning DBT coping skills. Once I get triggered and dissociate, I can't seem to think or reason like normal, and can't adequately use the coping skills I learned when I was not in a triggered state.
Because of this, I am wondering if I should be working more on the dissociation problem?
If any of you are familiar with those two workbooks I mentioned, or any others that would be helpful for this issue, please let me know!

I bought the book, I think, about a year ago.
I wasn’t in a good place just yet for it to help me.
A part of me reminded me of it because I’m trying to deal with some anger issues. I remembered reading something there.
Sorry!
I’m speaking about the “Coping With Trauma
- Related Dissociation” workbook.
When I went back to it for validation it was there.
I’ve pulled it back out and I’m going to work through it.
The cool thing about this workbook is that the author tells you that you don’t have to feel like you have to work through it in sequence.
I’m like that. I like to have a book for reference and reassurance. I don’t like to feel like I have to have an agenda. I hope that makes sense.
I think you would really like it and get a lot from it.
That’s just me.
