Frequently asked questions

What should a DBT flashcard set cover?

How do I study DBT skills with flashcards effectively?

Say the skill name and its steps aloud before flipping the card, and practice applying each skill to a realistic situation. Review the cards you miss more often, since spaced repetition is built around that.
