Hey. I moved for study rather than treatment, but I was hoping I would get some treatment as well. I guess I am. I have a t. Haven't had a t for a long time back home. Was discharged from community mental health. I'm a student so I can't afford to see anyone in private practice. I contacted a few people in private practice shortly after I arrived but I can't even afford their student rates. They said they couldn't offer any further reduction... I'm not sure what I want really... I don't think I want to do the traditional variety of therapy (as written). I don't think I switch in sessions and my communication with the voices is pretty good. I think I want therapy to be about my having better communication and I don't see how a therapist encouraging me to switch is going to be facilitating that. If I did switch in sessions the situation might be a little different I think... I don't know.

Maybe I should ask my t what she thinks about phase two of DBT. I know some places didn't do phase two because it hadn't been empirically validated. But I don't know... Might be more evidence in now. Depends on how well the service is funded perhaps...
