zoo-

im not smart and im new here and maybe that is a good thing cause i am looking at this from an outside viewpoint....

12 weeks for trauma? who can put a limit on it? things affect every person differently. it might take you years to heal and feel better....
your done with all your pain in 12 weeks...bye.
this is a band-aid, not a solution.

16 hours and T does NOT call back in DBT? what is that?
i have not had DBT but I knew kids in it in foster care and they had cell phones with their T's number programmed to call. it was part of the therapy...all times of the day. one kid was supposed to call anytime he was going to SI. as long as T was not in session, T called back within 15 minutes and the kid was supposed to practice skills while waiting the 15 mintues. NOT hours. the same kid called to get help making decisions...he did NOT wait hours....15 minnutes was the contracted time.


omg, zoo. you seem so nice and like you want to try.....this smells bad a mile away to me.

therapy is NOT all about skills....some is important, but so is talking about your troubles and pain. skills are the band-aid, talking and relating is the solution to the pain.

zoo, how long have you been with this T?

and forgive me if I am off, but I read this and was shocked
