"again, I'm sorry. I'm rambling. I am sorry to hear you are struggling." quote ThisWayOut

Nothing to be sorry about, you are more than welcome to give your opinion and your experience, everything is welcome as everything is something to learn from.

I honestly can understand that even though one might take DBT, it might not change their "trigger" reaction to some kind of negative interaction or a reminder that brings them to a bad place. I agree that it is important to find the "wound" first and identify how it happened, be comforted when the reaction of having it aggravated takes place, until the patient can identify it and slowly understand it better.

I understand what you are describing, I have experienced some big triggers myself and I had to wait until they ran their course until my conscious mind could slowly figure them out. I have had challenges from other people in my family that hurt me, not because it was my fault, but because they were disordered somehow. Yes, using DBT doesn't always work when for example someone has compulsive ADHD and constantly talks over you, interrupts you, and cuts you off when you try to interact no matter what you say. That has been a "big" challenge for me, much more than I had realized too.

So, don't apologize, your input is important.

((Hugs))
