Has anybody here read or used either one of these workbooks:

Coping With Dissociation-Related Trauma?

Complex PTSD: From Surviving to Thriving?

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 took CBT and it was very helpful. Laugh if you will but of all the workbooks I tried, "CBT for Dummies" was the best.

By the way, I thought DBT was for personality disorders.
