The Diary Card is a core tool in DBT that builds a daily practice of mindfulness by bringing awareness to emotions, urges, behaviors, and skills use. Completed daily and reviewed collaboratively in session, the Diary Card provides a snapshot of the week and a roadmap for treatment. Over time, it helps identify patterns, prioritize treatment targets, and monitor progress. The goal isn't perfection, but greater awareness of what's happening and what needs to change.
