DBT I like...but Marsha, I can't stand...I get an angry defiant feeling watching/hearing her speak. I find her tone to be very condescending...makes me feel childish violent rage inside...
I'm surprised I guess that you enjoy listening to her  |
Great reply. I meant I liked the DBT model as Marsha Linehan created it. I can see where you would react to her as you did as yes, she really does come off in videos like you said. I was talking more about that I liked the DBT philosophy. I don't particular like listening to Marsha Linehan in her videos. I am just trying to find something that works.
I was very interested in what you had to say about Gestalt and DBT being similar. You see, I wasn't thinking of it like this but it is interesting and I am going to look a bit closer at both for similarities;
I have to say I got completely thrown off by the talking to the empty chair thing. It immediately made me feel dissociated and I don't have DID. It was very uncomfortable. I really don't want to separate out various parts of my personality like that. I appreciated your reply. It really has given me food for thought.
Best wishes to you on your path.
