It's great to hear how much better things are for you. I am very familiar with psychodynamic therapy, in which the relationship to the therapist is the principle factor helping towards recovery, but much less so with DBT. In my minimal knowledge of it, I think it is about training oneself to correct distorted thinking. I have the impression that DBT can help one do this better than other forms of therapy, but I don't know if this is accurate.
I have Lamictal on my list as the next thing I would try if I became suicidal again - it's definitely one of the most well- thought- of medications.
I know from previous posts that your therapist is in his 70's; mine is about to be 69,. It is awfully hard to think that they won't always be available.
