Well I was in long term therapy. A few different therapists as I moved around. I quit about 8-9 years ago. Don’t know that I was cured but I found the coping skills I learned useful and of benefit. But I never had any type of attachment to the T. It was just a mostly weekly appointment I didn’t really think on it in between appointments. That could be why it took so long to learn the coping skills. Unfortunately my time was before DBT became better known. From what I’ve read I think I would have found the mindfulness useful. Did some dream work and Native American healing with one T that was interesting and mind expanding but not too useful in daily living. I just needed to learn skills I didn’t get from my family and how to cope with bipolar. I needed to learn little human behavior that most people learn though hearing and daily interaction. I grew up deaf and didn’t learn those secrets. But alls well that ends well.

Would I do it over again, yes, I would, it was ultimately useful
