Hi rainbow

I was thinking today that perhaps the problem is that the demands of therapy are out of sync with your actual skills? It sounds like the Somatic Experiencing your T is so keen on is about really getting in touch with your feelings, but you haven't yet got to the Emotion Regulation skills in DBT, which would equip you to actually handle the feelings. In fact, you haven't even done the distress tolerance module yet, which would help you to soothe yourself and to develop crisis survival skills. I don't know how much your T knows about DBT, or about the planned timetable for your group, but it might be valuable for her to link up with them as she suggested.
