So I already made a thread about BPD and DBT came up. I was going to get into the program at my T office but it's a group that meets twice a week and you can't miss more than two days and it's a year long course. I just don't have reliable transportation and if I'm rapid cycling, I can't be around people. I'm going to ask my T if we can do one on one but incase she can't, I'm wondering if there's any books or online stuff that would help me?? Anyone do one on one?
And if you did DBT, did it help?? |

I did DBT twice in a row. Yes it does help but it's work learning the concepts.

Sorry I can't be of any help, but I've wanted to do DBT workbooks too. I've found one on Amazon that looks promising: https://www.amazon.com/Dialectical-B...dp/1572245131/
I might pick it up. I wonder if anyone else here has used that book before, as it seems pretty popular on Amazon. There's a BP-specific one too, but apparently it's not that great. I've been meaning to ask my T if we can do one-on-one DBT, but I always forget to bring it up. |

I took a CBT course. Some of the material was taken from the DBT model - like mindfulness and catastrophic thinking tools. It was one on one for 3 months.
I did this in addition to self-help tools. There is a (go ahead and laugh in disbelief) "DBT for Dummies" book out there. I used the CBT version and it was very helpful as it had a day-at-a-time format which not only had worksheets and excercises but directed journalling too. They are written in a manner that they take 90 days to complete. I highly recommend either of these books as they borrow from the best of the theories and practices out there. |

Since you cannot reach your group, can this help?

As I said before it is a big commitment but worth it. You either want to do it or not.
It's worth it if you want stability in your life.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
