I whole heartedly agree with lauru. DBT has changed my life. Not only are my borderline symptoms a whole lot better (not gone just manageable) but it also helped me be able to develop better coping skills for my bipolar disorder. After my 5th time inpatient I did the DBT Intensive Outpatient Program which was Mon-Thurs for 3 hrs for 5 weeks. Then I did another DBT program which lasted six months (once a week) and then repeated the six month program. By the middle of the second six months I was a new person. I was then able to make some of the life choices I was too scared to do before.
Highly recommend DBT!!!
