Hello Fellow PC Members,

Its been a while since I was here. I guess I spent a lot of time weighing out Pros and Cons of therapy lately. I just started catching up on the stuff that all of you have been posting. I'm hoping to get back in the swing of replying to some of those posts soon.

Anyway, so here I am. I started Group DBT back in August and I have to say I think its giving me a run for my energy as well as saving my life all at the same time. I still see my Individual Psycho-dynamic T on a weekly basis because its a requirement to be in DBT group. That's where my issue is coming in at. I just feel like I am not getting as much as I could out of it. T has been labeling me as "resistant" lately. I feel like I've been doing the work. Maybe its not enough. Is it ever enough? Where is the end? I need my T so much right now, but I've been texting a lot and I'm trying not to let it get out of hand. I started to lose sight of "Text or call if you NEED to" and found myself looking for any reason at all to send a text to her just to connect. Some of you go weeks without your T. Months without your T. I can't go 9 days and yet at the same time, I feel like I need a break.

Makes no sense... Sorry...Just thinking and needed to write it down. I missed you all.

Hi - glad you have posted again - sounds like you have a lot in your head just now that you are trying to straighten out. And I certainly know that feeling of push / pull towards T. Hope it will be helpful to you being on here again - Soup

Welcome back, Tryin!

Everyone needs a break now and then. Happy that you're back in the swim! You know, when it comes to T and therapy, every single one of us goes through stages. Up, down, in, around, sometimes charging ahead, sometimes "resistant." Don't worry, you won't always be resistant. You just have to stick with it. In therapy, like in weather, there's summer, fall, winter and spring. Seasons. In order to get to the end of it (and, yes, there IS an end) you have to go through all the stages. And it sounds like that's just what you're doing. We couldn't have everything going well ALL the time, could we? That would be BORING!!! But seriously, you WILL get back on track and make progress, PROVIDING you stick to it and do what you have to do! Hang in there! And take care.
