(((Pomegranite))) hope you feel better soon - take care

Im coming late to this thread but i wanted to throw somthing into the pot

My T takes bits from everything CBT, TFT, DBT, he is a kind and caring person and has never played games with me - he is always striaght with me and I would not be able to trust him if he werent -

I think there are good and bad bits in most therapies - the DBT things he has gone through with me are Radical acceptance - emotion regulation and distress tolerance and that has helped me - although not easy to do - I have been to the DBT chats here and found them useful and am a member of the DBT group - eek! dont shoot me ok!!!! I am interested in all and every therapy - most of the time I am hanging by a thread (no pun inteneded! ) and would find out about oooh kitten therapy if I had the faintest thought it might work -

I saw a Marsha LIneham video and I must admit she made me angry - she seemed to be condescending but I think that was just her way of speaking -

I must admit some of the comments you guys (and gals ) have said she says in her book have made me angry (havnt read and it and dont want to now grrr!)- I have been manipulated and I have a built in Bull manure meter that goes off if someon tries to play me - and so the idea that she would tell someone to do what it says in her book makes me angry - tell someone who was suicidal to go do it? !!!!!!! grrrr !!!!!!!! is that supposed to be shock treatment? - but hey it may work for some... not me though

I treat all therapy in the same way - taking what works and leaving the rest and T does the same - if somthing makes me angry or triggery I look at it and try to find out why so I can prevent it from happening again - somtimes that helps me move forward.

Anyway, interesting thread and I think we all have to find what works for us- - take care one and all - be safe be happy be well P7
