I really don't think therapy will help me be the person others want me to be. I do think that DBT might help me. It would be nice to be able to learn to soothe myself etc. The truth is, I'm not sure I really want to change. I want to be less distressed all the time, but I don't want to change my personality. I like who I am. I just don't like getting upset. I would be willing to get help so I won't be as upset all the time, but I don't want to change how I interact with others. I will change that myself, if I want to. I don't want change forced upon me.
