I typed out a response and lost it all. Drat! Here goes again...

The group leader is also my individual therapist. I see her tomorrow at 3pm for individual therapy. I'm sure this is what we will be discussing.

People in this group do have contact outside of group. I remember reading somewhere online that with DBT groups, having contact with other group members was not allowed. So I was kind of surprised to realize they weren't following that guideline. I'll have to look for that info again.

Thanks for the encouragement for the practice I've been doing. I guess the next thing I need to do is write out questions for therapist.

I hate the thought of losing her as my therapist and having to look for another one, but I'll do what is best for me overall. I appreciate the responses.

"Real isn't how you are made," said the Skin Horse. "It's a thing that happens to you. When a child loves you for a long, long time, not just to play with, but REALLY loves you, then you become Real."

"Does it hurt?" asked the Rabbit.

"Sometimes," said the Skin Horse, for he was always truthful. "When you are Real you don't mind being hurt."
