Three of the five videos so far. I'm gearing up to watch the other two. But I'm working at the same time, so I think Dr. Linehan would not approve. Not one-minded of me. :(
I haven't decided what I think, quite yet. I kept thinking through the crisis survival skills that she left out the best one. Putting yourself to sleep until you feel better. Hmmmm....
I have a feeling it's just not going to be easy to do on a self-help basis. I'm thinking it probably works better if you hurl yourself into it wholeheartedly, immersing yourself in the ideas and lingo 12 step style. In other words, a group. I think I even remember some outcome studies that come to that conclusion. And there aren't any groups around here, even if I thought I could tolerate one.
Oh well, if I watch the videos often enough, and read the books, and keep the diary cards, perhaps enough will seep in to make a difference.If, if, if...
