Sounds like a great session. Good for you for bringing all of those things up.
I did the DBT Skills Training Group. I think that it was helpful for me. I have a friend who is trying to do Skills Training with her therapist. I would strongly recommend finding a group. The biggest reason that Dr. Linehan suggests that Skills Training be done in a group is that each of us have enough weekly crisies to fill out therapy time. Skills Training seems to be the lowest priority, so it gets dropped when things are crazy. But things won't stop being crazy until you have learned the skills. So if you separate them, then the Skills Training time will actually be used for Skills Training. It is also more fun to do Skills Training with other people.
So your goals are:
1. DBT
2. Optimism on meds
3. Stop downward spiralIs that right?
Good job!
