My T is not DBT trained. It's weird...she says she admires Linehan, but at the same time she doesn't agree with DBT. So why is she encouraging me to go? Because she believes that learning new skills will be a benefit to me. That it will provide me with a sense of structure and some socialization. Plus, I have already learned most the common coping skills from past therapy. And I think I'm overwhelming her a little with the borderline symptoms (that's just a guess). Also, my Pdoc and insurance wants me in DBT. 3 against 1...they win. I am willing, just not wanting per se. Especially since I have to pay out of pocket, and it involves a group aspect.
