Christina,

A couple of years in therapy is not long. I've been in therapy for 9 years now (who knew I was this F'd up?) and it's still incredibly helpful. I've made incredible progress, but we're just now starting to tackle some really tough stuff that keeps me socially isolated.

I really liked what CBT I've done. Ond of the treatment centres I was in and the psych hospital I was in used it a lot. The psych hospital also used a bit of DBT but not as much. I still find myslef using CBT principles to help me sort out distorted thinking and emotions and find it helpfull. A 10-15 week course of CBT certainly won't fix anyone, but it does give you some pretty good tools that you can use in your life.

Glad you like your pdoc. I love mine, and am constantly terrified that she'll drop me.

As for homework from T - that would totally turn me off. I have some from my addictions Dr. that I'm supposed to do before I next see her, which I'm really resenting even though I know it will ultimately help me.
