I'm in DBT therapy, though primarily for borderline. It is a game changer for me. I'm learning to rewire the way I think and how I respond to life situations. We talk about the past when it's pertinent to make progress in the present. I go in and my therapist asks me what I would like to talk about and we go from there. I have made the deepest confessions to her and my load is so much lighter. I'm also developing a healthy self esteem and boundaries. I have coping skills to deal with my emotions. She has validated my feelings. I feel like I have someone on my side rooting for me.
Therapy is changing my life. Just back in October I was suicidal and committed to hospital. I've come a long way since then.
