DBT Handbook

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is a form of therapy created by Marsha Linehan, PhD. It is a modified version Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with a focus on Mindfulness, which is pulled from Eastern mindfulness techniques. DBT was originally created to treat chronically suicidal and self-injuring individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD), but has since been proven effective for many other mental illnesses including, but not limited to: depression, anxiety, PTSD, eating disorders, substance abuse, bipolar disorder, and self-injurers.

more info on DBT here and here

I first learned DBT two years ago at Timberline Knolls when I did residential, and it helped so much that I did a DBT intensive outpatient program when I got home from there. After “graduating” from my IOP, I created my own version of our DBT handbook that I could keep forever, basically. It took a long time- 28 pages- but it was worth it!

I wanted to share it with you all because I think everyone should learn DBT, whether they have mental health disorders or not!

HOLY FREE ART PROGRAMS BATMAN

I’ve had this list sitting around for a while (in case I ever want to try something new) and I thought I’d share it, because why the hell not, everybody loves free stuff. I’ve only used a couple, so for all I know these could be complete shit. BUT YOU NEVER KNOW, RIGHT?

*= available for both windows and mac os

GIMP * - Does a lot of the same stuff as Photoshop.

FireAlpaca * - Similar to Paint Tool Sai, so it’s a good alternative for Mac users.

Autodesk Sketchbook Copic Edition * - Simulates the look of copic markers.

MyPaint * - Basic stuff, nothing fancy.

Pinta * - Drawing program modeled after paint.NET.

Inkscape * - Vector/drawing program meant to be similar to Illustrator.

ArtRage * - Digital painting program; you can get the trimmed down version for free or buy the full version with more features.

Sumo Paint * - In-browser drawing app.

DAZ Studio * - Some sort of 3D model poser thing.

Pencil * - Software for animating.

SketchUp * - Tool for making 3D models. Looks handy for stuff like architectural drawings.

Blender * - Pretty popular 3D software.

escape motions * - Some browser apps, fun to fiddle with when you’re bored (the fluid fire simulation is pretty cool imo).

Twistedbrush (Pixarra) - Seems to be meant for replicating the look of traditional media.

Pixia/Phierha - A popular program in Japan, according to the website.

Krita - This was originally made for Linux and it looks like the developers haven’t ironed out all of the kinks in the Windows installer.

Artweaver - Another trimmed down free thing if you don’t want to buy the full program.

paint.NET - Pretty basic kit, probably good for simple stuff.

Project Dogwaffle - I’m not sure what this one is all about because I couldn’t stop laughing at the terrible website.

Speedy Painter - Lightweight digital painting program.

mtPaint - Originally made for pixel art; simple enough to run on older computers.

Chasys Draw IES - Supposed to be some sort of drawing+image editor thing.

PaintRibbon - Seems to be another plain old basic image editor.

DrawPlus - Looks like it’s made for graphic design and vector stuff.

SmoothDraw - I’m guessing this is a basic thing for people who don’t want to bother with complicated stuff.

Might be useful for some of you guys! Also you should all check out Alchemy, too. It’s really fun to mess around with.

Reblogging because I know some of you draw.

[vimoradi-deactivated20180806]

no but really, like 

i know that some folks love telling creative people that “you should be doing it for fun because you love it not for the compliments” but creative people thrive on feedback whether it’s critical or just complimentary

so when i write fanfiction and don’t get any actual feedback i feel like i spent all that time and energy doing it for nothing because i’m not getting feedback from the people i wrote it for 

doing something you’re proud of and then presenting it to the sound of utter silence is like the worst feeling on earth 

[prince-vegeta-universe-deactiva]

I know the feeling of this.

[thebestpersonherelovesbucky]

i like to think: what if you were in a play and you spend all that time learning your lines and your cues and going to rehearsal for hours and hours and being bone tired and then getting up on stage opening night and giving it your all only to be met with silence from the audience at the final curtain call. No one would question why that upset them.

This is some fanart I did for @mustachetangelo while watching his Mario 64 art stream. I asked for some suggestions on what I should draw and someone in chat recommended a controller of some sort. Naturally, the first thing that came to mind was this fleshy monstrosity. So here it is!

Anyways, if you haven’t already, check him out! he does real quality art, and he works with the @games-repainted crew too! All-around cool guy!

[mustachetangelo]

This is awesome!  thanks buddy! :D

2015 art portfolio pt.1! I received Diddy Kong Racing for Xmas ‘97 and since then its been one of my absolute favs. What better way to express my affections than with a reimagining of sorts.

[burntbeebs]

Gaaah I forgot how terribly I drew at the beginning of this year-wait nothing’s really changed.

whispers “yes I ship a crocodile and a mouse get over it” as i fly into a furnace-

[rollinrabbit]

Pipsy was my choice every time.

[burntbeebs]

So I actually managed to recreate the designs and OH NO I like them a lot.

IMPORTANT TO STEVEN UNIVERSE FANS

it has been confirmed that the clips from “the answer” and “steven’s birthday” are not promos, they are LEAKED. the leaker is planning on leaking the whole bomb tomorrow.

PLEASE DO NOT WATCH THE EPISODES!!!

one minute clips are okay, whole episodes are not. please spread the word.

[stevenuniverseconspiracies]

Quick correction on this — these minute and a half-long previews are leaking the same way that the first thirteen episodes of Adventure Time’s season 7 leaked in November. CN insecurely put full episodes on their servers 3-4 days early, with the intention of not being seen until after they’d aired on TV, but people found the exploit and got them.

CN realized what was wrong and stopped doing that. Full episodes are NOT insecure on CN’s servers anymore. These previews ARE what CN is still uploading early with insufficient security.

So you don’t have to worry about the whole bomb leaking. At least from this, at the rate things are going. Don’t know where that notion came from. The leaker doesn’t have the whole bomb and is just sitting on top of it. They’re leaking whatever they get, as soon as it comes. So, unless ‘whatever they get’ changes, full episodes are safe.

But, most imminently important, watching the previews is still damaging. The clips are the unfiltered first minute and a half of each episode, and it figures that pretty soon one of these opening sequences is probably gonna address some pretty spoilery events that happened in the episode before.

They are NOT preview clips handpicked by CN to keep you unspoiled, and you really ought to avoid them if you care. Take Ian JQ’s word for it

Unless CN stops uploading them like this, they’ll leak and people will be discussing them regardless. That’s the truth of the situation. Still avoid them if you care. The previews are not safe.
