- I - don't do DBT because MY therapy plan is geared towards learning how to let MYSELF feel and express MY feelings instead of passing them off for the unemotional point of view that comes from MY having DID,
but here is a terrific website that explains what is involved with doing DBT. and yea its kind of like attending bootcamp because you are on a strict schedule right down to dietary schedule and all work must be done in order because one skill leads into the next and what you learn in each lesson is carried over into the rest of the lessons and homework.
and At the moment Im a bit confused - your therapist wants you to do DBT to gain and express more feelings because you think from the rational mind instead of the emotional one?
DBT is looking at your problems from a rational nonemotional nonjudgemental point of view mind instead of the emotional one.
Basically with DBT you will be having structured classes in looking at your problems and resulting behaviours from an unemotional point of view and changing those emotional thoughts and behaviors so that you are not so emotional when things don't go right for you.
This link will explain the classes and also has the worksheets and so on that people who are in DBT do with their therapy professional and also do as homework.
