My psychologist has said....I provide the teaching but if you don't do the homework & the work it takes to put the skills into practice in your own life you will NEVER get better.

I was working hard in the 2 years of intensive group DBT I had with her. When that finished & she became my private psychologist & we could just sit & talk that was when she commented about progress & wellness comes when we do the work. T's can talk, pdocs can give meds but if we aren't the ones that change what isn't working in out life we will never see a positive change. It is teamwork.....teacher/student. We can change something if we haven't learned how but if we learn & do nothing we get nowhere also
