Visual Resources for Teaching & Learning DBT

My visual DBT resources are therapist-made tools designed to make Dialectical Behavior Therapy more accessible, memorable, and engaging for visual learners.

Fully imagined and hand-illustrated by me, Lindsay Braman, these resources translate evidence-based DBT concepts into illustrated flowcharts, sketchnotes, worksheets, wheels, games, and interactive activities.

My DBT resources are used by therapists, teachers, students, and individuals teaching and learning DBT skills around the world. Inspired by the idea that people learn best when information feels approachable, interactive, and visual, my work focuses on reducing overwhelm and increasing play (which results in better retention). Rather than dense clinical worksheets, these resources use color, humor, storytelling, and hands-on activities to help people understand mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills in a more human, creative, and practical way.

DBT Printables: Bingo Worksheet & DBT Skills Cheat Sheet

DBT Bingo: learning skills and practicing them is a part of how DBT can help us recover. Use this sheet to track and review your learning.

I believe that some resources used in Mental Health treatment are unnecessarily cold, clinical, or technical. These hard-to-relate-to resources may risk pushing people away instead of inviting them to engage in both a healing relationship with their therapist and with information that could help their recovery.

My printable resources like this DBT card are different. Consciously designed to integrate the fundamental concepts and package them in an approachable, non-clinical, non-threatening way, these DBT inspired worksheets can make diary cards, homework printables, and skills-practicing as easy and fun as activity books.
