In reply to CBT or DBT?, posted by Ilene on September 15, 2004, at 12:27:28
I find it interesting that DBT is an option for you without a dx of BPD. It was designed (primarily) to reduce SI, inpatient admissions and that kind of (typically) BPD (expensive) stuff. It is also typically offered as a package deal (for the first year, or the first 6 months at least) where one goes to group skills training (yeech) in conjunction with seeing a DBT therapist.
That being said, in my experience DBT is about a million times better than CBT. Less judgemental etc. But then these are problems / limitations that people with a dx of BPD typically have with CBT and so others may find that CBT works for them just fine.
Can you have a go, and then change your mind??
