Making the Most of Analytics
Look for Patterns
Don't just focus on totals. Notice trends like "I practice more on weekends" or "My joy increases when I use Mindfulness skills."
Balance Your Practice
Use the Category Balance chart to ensure you're not neglecting any of the four DBT skill modules.
Review Regularly
Check your analytics weekly or monthly to stay aware of your progress and adjust your practice as needed.
