Yeah i don't know lol I tend to go with what's effective to be honest....which would be sternly frowned upon by DBT methods but it's what stops me from going too far so i wonder how badly i feel about certain coping mechanisms?
I have the twisted brain too - nice baths and certain music don't quite do it for me. In fact a lot of the time such ideas make me almost certain i need something more extreme. But i'm ok with the fact it's probably going to take something other than DBT - glad it works for others though
