Breathe... I know you've talked about how awful county was for you in the past. I think it's amazingly brave that you're willing to face all that to get the DBT training - that's *awesome* and I'm pulling for you, ScarletPimpernel!
I haven't done DBT (but keep seeing things that make me think it's a good idea). Did you see a little while ago, on the BPD boards, someone recently finished a DBT course and got alot out of it... here's the thread:

And, I think your T is very committed to you, and will have no problem putting her foot down if county tries to "steal" you away. Does that make sense? I'm sure she'd fight to keep you!
Good luck Scarlet... I'm actually really excited for you! I know it's scary and nerve-wracking and insanely difficult, but there's so much possibility there too. I hope you're able to get a lot of great skills and information, so that all the stress ends up being worth it.
When does it start? Is it weekly?
*Good luck!!!!*
