I'm in a DBT program. 1 1/2 hours of DBT group and an hour of individual therapy. Most of my individual sessions are skills focused but its flexible depending on what is going on.

I am about to add an additional hour of trauma focused therapy every week for the next four months or so.

I meet with a doctor for meds every 2 months now that we have the right cocktail going.

I like my DBT therapist way better than other therapists I have seen. Its good for me to have things so focused. I used to go to therapy and not really tell them anything, just BS the whole session like I had not a problem in the world. Or I would show up, unload, and end up freaking out even more from embarrassment. Then I would never go back.

My DBT therapist knows exactly how to handle me. And for once in my life I feel like I am actually getting better. Its great!

So its working for me
