DBT Improve Skill Worksheet Overview
When you’re feeling overwhelmed, the IMPROVE skill offers ways to make even distressing times slightly more positive by shifting your focus. This helps us tolerate lasting, difficult situations.
In this worksheet, we’ll:
- Describe each IMPROVE step (imagery, meaning, prayer, relaxing, one thing in the moment, (mini) vacation, encouragement and re-thinking)
- Provide examples of effective ways to engage in each step
- Provide space to record IMPROVE Skill practice
