DBT and Cognitive Behavior Therapy are so powerful tools!!! LOL for me, much better than talk therapy - I can talk all day and that doesn't change a thing!!!

Great info, thanks : )

Just to add to that Gina..here they require a person who is going to DBT group therapy -which is once a week for 2 hours at a time- go to a DBT therapist at least once a month. The therapists go over your personal issues and how they relate to your diary card and skill building.

The skills are life saving but it is best to find a program to be involved in person. The group atmosphere teaches people not only from hearing others experiences but also it is a real life atmosphere to learn interpersonal relationships which is the hardest module of DBT.

Plus I can say my instructors/ therapists were fantastic and practiced the skills in their daily lives setting a great example and teaching environment.
