Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a type of cognitive-behavioral therapy focused on helping people regulate emotions, tolerate distress, improve relationships, and practice mindfulness. It’s widely used for anxiety, depression, impulsivity, and emotional sensitivity.
A core part of DBT is daily tracking — recording emotions, urges, skills used, and what happened throughout the day. This helps you spot patterns, track progress, and stay grounded.
But the traditional DBT diary card was designed for paper, not for how people actually live today.
Research shows that DBT works best when practiced consistently, not just in therapy sessions. When you track your emotions and skills every day, you can:
Even five minutes of tracking can help you stay mindful and intentional.
Modern life moves fast — and your diary card should keep up.
