DBT Dime Game Worksheet Overview
The “Dime Game” from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a creative way of exploring factors to consider when asking for something or saying no. This worksheet guides you through the game, helping you decide the firmness or intensity of your request/denial in light of your priorities and your relationship with someone else.
In this worksheet, we’ll cover:
- Aspects of the relationship (like differences in authority) that might affect the request or denial
- Corresponding suggestions about how to communicate the request or denial
- Common interpersonal situations (like having difficulty speaking up for yourself) that might prompt you to review and adjust your request or denial
