PLEASE Skill Tracking Tool

The PLEASE skill tool is a DBT emotion regulation tracker for practitioners and clients reviewing physical illness care, balanced eating, avoiding mood-altering substances, balanced sleep, and exercise. It helps identify self-care gaps, helpfulness, barriers, and concrete follow-up targets for reducing emotional vulnerability.

When To Use It

Use this when reviewing whether body-care patterns may be increasing emotional vulnerability.

Repeat Use

Repeated weeks support longitudinal comparison of targets and helpfulness while preserving missed days and not-applicable notes as entered.

Relevant Limitation

The tool records self-report for DBT emotion-regulation review; it is not medical management, a nutrition program, a sleep clinic workflow, or an exercise tracker.

Can missed days stay blank?

Yes. Missed days remain blank rather than being inferred.

Can a domain be marked not applicable?

Yes. A domain can be marked not applicable for a day with a note.

Does PLEASE give medical advice?

No. The tool records client self-report and supports practitioner review without giving medical advice.

What configuration is saved?

The tool itself and the selected tracking period setup are saved; fictional demo entries are not saved as client data.
