I thought i would start this thread for anyone who is in DBT so talk about their experiences and so we can offer each other support..

how are you going in DBT?

I did dbt Rose...

I sat there each day with eight girls and women,

I fell in love immediately...such a tosser!!

but these girls women were so gentle and hurt.

and me ...?

I sat there and could not concentrate...

I even fell in love with the women running the damn thing..

never felt so much peace ever in my life...

I could not be late ever to a session...I sat and waited

but coming to the end??

I sabotaged the group.

I had to end it on my terms

it was not fair and it was ironic that dbt ends with abandonment!

i'm sorry thats how your experience with DBT ended.

yeah me to...

but I was told it might take a badass like me twice

or even three times

how was....is it for you Rose?

I really am bad Rose...

all I do is get upset about everything all day everyday

it's almost silly.....

I told you

you have alot to offer...

you are helping me right now

type into your computer

family guy ..."who wants chowder"

it's quite funny....

for me DBT is easy and hard at the same time.. cuz i have had years of other therapy i know the right things to say but actually using the skills in my life is really hard.. at the moment i'm swinging between quitting and not quitting..

after yesterdays 1:1 i was so mad at T and i wasn't going to go back. i was meant to call T this morning but i was so mad that i didn't. so then she called me tonight. i was very short with her with one word answers 'i'm fine' 'no' and then she asked me if i was angry with therapy and i thought you know what i'm going to tell her why i'm mad at her. so i did. i told her i felt completely dismissed in yesterdays session. so then we talked about it and she explained that she was focusing on what i had said in a different way, when she explained it made sense. so then we worked though everything and now i'm feel a lot better about everything.

she said i did really well to actually speak up and tell her that i was annoyed at her because that's not something i usually do.

anyone else currently in DBT? whats your experiences?
