After waiting for four months, I finally got a slot in the DBT group. I'm definitely no stranger to DBT and I've been trying to find a group I could afford for five years. Wish me luck in staying in!

Horse,
That's so cool! Congratulations! You'll do great! ~littlebird~

Horse,
That's excellent news!   You mentioned you're no stranger to DBT, what's your history with DBT? Five years is a very, very long time to look - I'm glad it's finally happening for you. EXCELLENT JOB on not giving up.  - although I don't think you'll need much for luck because I really think you'll do great- we're here to support you all the way, and after seeing all you've been through I think you're a very strong person. Bear FEAR is only:
Friendly Energy Announcing Risk. But if you're still not sure - Ffff Everything And Run! |

I was in day treatment DBT five years ago when DBT was just starting to catch on in the midwest for about three months.
I have also tried, unsuccessfully, to run an online DBT group a few times. While I was working, my insurance would not cover a group and could not find one I could afford so I am extremely happy to get into this one. I will still be in regular day treatment besides, plus individual. This center is determined to cure me this time.

I'm supposed to start group on Sept. 16th but only after my therapist's supervisor looks over my diary and checks to see that I have no new
SI's....I have some visable scars...so I gues group is for those who no longer SI...well duh...I was hoping group would help me to NOT SI...so what? I have
to be cured first? lol
So, my therapist gave me a rubberband to place on my wrist and told me to pop myself if I have an urge to SI...so, a week later I asked her "uh, do you think your supervisor will have an issue with the welts on my wrist from popping myself?" I was JOKING but she didn't think it was funny....hmmph! |
