I don't like the thought worksheets! Really. I don't like breaking down my thoughts. Pros and cons, okay. Mindfulness, okay. Coping skills, teflon mind, okay. I don't want the strictness of a DBT program either. I prefer talking through things, processing, exploring. However, I don't need to go into my past. I've dealt with my past enough. I need to focus on the present and how to cope with the loss of my T.
