Orange Blossum I think you and I must have run into more than our share of manipulative SOB's because I feel just the same as you do. This whole thing, and what Fool Zero wrote below, all sound terrifyingly frightening to me. I remember encounter groups and they also struck me as highly manipulative and like one or two smart as*'s got to beat up on the rest of us naive or not as psychologically sophisticated people. Maybe it's just my PTSD.
I'm very happy it works for others and has helped them and I'm not trying to disrespect anyone here. It's just that anytime I try reading about DBT or when I read FoolZ's post here, I get a panicked, angry feeling that is quite extreme. It triggers me. It just sounds like so many mean people in my past who tried to take advantage of me, or make themselves look smart and funy at my expense. This whole thing is very confusing to me and very triggering.
I was hoping someone could explain my reaction, or share that they had a similiar reaction and if they went through with the therapy and what happened, which Elysium did a good job of. And I'm certainly interested in hearing more people's experiences with DBT, or even just reading about it.
