My current psychologist has such a wonderful way of TEACHING & I have learned so much in just the few years of going to her (started off as my DBT group leader while I had another wonderful psychologist then that psychologist retired & my DBT group leader became my psychologist along with the leader of the "Next Step" DBT group I still go to once in awhile.

Honestly she is so outstanding compared to all the other T's I've had since 1994 that I let her know that I appreciate her teaching technique & she knows & has acknowledged herself how far I've come in the time since starting with this group. My compliments have nothing to do with any reassurance, but it has everything to do with my heart felt thanks for the teaching & positive effect that she has had on my life. It's a wonderful feeling to be at the point of integrating the past with the present & being able to understand why I reacted the way I did & how much the DBT knowledge I've learned has helped my mind form better ways of reacting in the now (even at the age of 63). We both share the joy that I'm experiencing with the positive effect that her teaching techniques have had on my life. Nine years ago, I never imagined I would ever be at this point in my life even though leaving my H at that point in time was making a huge difference even without therapy but with the quality therapy I have had here, it's made an amazing difference.......& when I'm really happy about something I want to acknowledge to her my appreciation.
