> Lurpsie that's wonderful. Surprised he didn't have you on the zoloft in the morning to begin with as some compare with a pot of coffee. The reason for the scars is DBT is dialectacal Behavioral Therphy. Mainly for people with issues of self harm. It's hard work but worth it from what I've read.
I had a friend in Chicago who was doing DBT, probably borderline personality disorder, certainly depression, and a lot of self-injury compulsions. She told me a bit about how ridiculous her homework was and how much she dreaded going to group therapy. but... reluctantly she admitted that it was helping. sure beats the hospital.
I think Lindham or something like that is the person he referred to. Just goggle DBT it will pop right up.
I found a good link online with some of the sample worksheets and things.
>Chicken he was for not telling you about the scars must be from her bad days.
Awww, Phillipa, he wasn't chicken, he was just trying to underscore the fact that she developed it from her own personal experience. He went to a workshop of hers once. Perhaps one of the reasons he wasn't impressed is because he's NOT a cbt guy and this probably seemed too specific to help people with really complex problems. My T likes to look at the big picture (thank goodness).
>You know there was a thread here a while ago a lot of people were going to get the workbook and do the homework together on phychology here. You can google that to or start a thread.
I'm going to do some more research, thanks for the tips :) you've been super helpful :)
>calander sounds like a super idea and glad you had some fun today. Looks like your're on your way to some great days ahead!!!!!!
awww, thanks phillipa, you sound excited yourself.
Well, today's not much fun. We're unpacking boxes in the bedroom and I found out that clothes wadded up in boxes for 8 weeks need to be rewashed and refolded. ugh. that means about 10 loads of laundry.
