My name is Liz65. I went through the DBT group at my program and it only lasted for 6 months. I have the skills here.I am trying to find the diary card that I use when I was going there. One side listed emotions and urges and at the botton had the days of the week,where you can write what skills that you used and on the back had all the skills listed. I do not go to the program anymore,they graduated me out,even though I felt I was not ready. My new therapist might help me,I will have to ask here.I am glad that I am here and I know that I can learn from others. Thanks. take care

I have been through DBT IT does help up to a point but did anyone else find the approach rather rigid?

I did not find any rigid in the DBT,but I just need to work on the skills more. I am trying very hard though,it is hard to use all the skills at once. thanks.take care.

It is hard to use the skills, you are right, and to be mindful enough to do so. But I think it is perhaps more helpful to try a couple at any one time - ones that you have found useful for a particular problem in the past.. I use distraction techniques regularly - doing art or writing. Good luck.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
