I have a Pdoc and a T. Pdoc is pregnant. I don't HAVE to go, per se. But my T and Pdoc have been trying to find me a DBT group for awhile now. It's either been too expensive, I live in the wrong city, or I'd have to get rid of my Pdoc. Since my Pdoc won't be here for 3 months anyways, I can leave my Pdoc for those 3 month to have access to DBT.

My T and Pdoc and insurance feel that it's an important aspect of treatment for me. One, I have BPD...not the typical case, but enough symptoms that DBT would help (and I agree). They also want me in a group for exposure therapy because I suffer from agoraphobia. I could simply teach myself DBT, but it's not just the skills they want me to learn.

I have to go because I want to be better. I have to go because this might be the only chance I get at a DBT group. And I have to go because my insurance is requiring me to go if they are going to continue paying for my individual therapy.
