Hi Dinah,
I've done well with DBT (a kindler and gentler CBT) and interpersonal- I guess my therapist uses a variety. I'm miles behind Terra, but I find I recover quicker from emotional ko's. For me, I've had to spend over a year just on trust issues because of boundary crossings by my ex-shrink and I think that's prevented a lot of progress. But I guess the one thing I've learned is this is a very long process, so I don't think in terms of weeks or months anymore. I find it amazing the things I don't know- how to act in a situation- I think my social skills stopped at 5 years old. I may put on a good show, but I don't truly understand person to person interaction and often get frightened (as evidenced many times here). So a lot of reeducation is going on now too. Anyway hope this wasn't too convoluted. Take care, judy
