When experiencing emotional overwhelm, it can be difficult to think logically, and effectively deal with conflict. The DBT THINK skill is an interpersonal effectiveness skill that focuses on conflict resolution by putting yourself in someone else’s shoes and being kind and empathetic. The DBT THINK Skill Worksheet includes two worksheet activities that give clients opportunities to reflect on their use of the THINK skills by answering questions. They are invited to recall specific goals they’ve set for an interaction, think about what they could have done differently, and brainstorm coping skills to stay calm in the moment. Answering these worksheets encourages kids and teens to approach conflict calmly and reduces their impulsivity. Caring adults can offer additional support and clarification while their child completes the activity. Our DBT Think Skill handout is a helpful add-on summarizing each of the five think skills. *This item is an instant digital download.

There are six levels of validation in Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT), which promote an environment where people feel accepted and understood. As much as possible, we should use the highest level of validation in any given situation. The first level is about showing interest and being present while the sixth level is radical genuineness. The DBT 6 Levels Of Validation worksheet asks clients to engage in reflection and describe a scenario where validation would be helpful. For each level of validation, they can brainstorm ways to show support to a friend or loved one going through a difficult experience. Kids and teens answering the worksheet can practice articulating their responses, which helps them develop their communication skills and have healthier relationships. Feel free to pair this worksheet with our DBT 6 Levels of Validation handout which serves as a practical resource on the topic. *This item is an instant digital download.
