I'm currently in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) currently and have been so for over a year. I think it has done wonders for me.

DBT is a therapy that teaches 4 different modals. Mindfullness, Interpersonal Relationships, Emotional Regulation, and Distress Tolerance.

Each teaches something a little different but basically how to calm yourself down when in a crisis without hurting yourself in some way or taking it out on others.

Where I go we meet once a week for two hours, in addition to seeing our individual therapist. I personally think it is a good type of therapy but you have to be willing to do the work to see any progress.

Hope this helped a little.

Waddlesworth - Just wanted to say thank you for the information. That sounds really interesting. I clicked on this because I wanted to know what it was, but now I want to join something like that.. Funny how that works.

This is something an insurance would cover? Hm..

Thank you so much for the information. It does help and it sounds like something that would be really good for me. I forgot to ask about it when I was there yesterday, but I am going to stop in on Monday. Actually, I might walk there this afternoon. :)

Aphrodisiac, I don't know if all insurance covers it, but it is a part of the county mental health clinic I visit. I get my insurance through the county. They do pay for it, but I don't know if they would pay for it on top of the regular therapy sessions I go to weekly.

I am in DBT.

If you **want** to be helped - then it can be awesome. But if you are resistant - then you are just going to waste your time.

I definitely want the help and want to do the work. I am willing to try whatever I can to get well. Sometimes I get down and I feel like it is impossible, but I haven't once stopped trying.
