I would have to go Dr Phil on you here, and say, you cannot change what you don't acknowledge. So if you can acknowledge that you do create trauma in your life, that would be a first step to stopping it. I think this lets us know that this T is indeed suffering from burnout, at least zoo burnout. I have a friend whom I love dearly, but I believe she too creates her own trauma. But she can say the same of me to some extent, so pot calls the kettle black. But still there is something to this. And DBT probably isn't the way out of it, I would say more psychoanalytically oriented therapy, and being willing to do what is asked of you. In my case it was not seeing family of origin - a simple fix. How ARE you creating trauma in your life - is there a simple fix or two, or is it much more complex?
