I have the skills manual by Linehan as well and I am trying to use those parts of it that would be useful to me. I am currently working on experiencing. When you eat, eat; when you walk, walk, etc. I've just started. Are there any of the exercises you found particularly helpful?
I think it might be easier to do in a group or with a directive therapist. When reading the manual I feel like I'm learning a bit too much about how therapists feel about clients and how we are "managed". I'm getting that old mulish feeling I always get with cognitive behavior therapy. Just me, I guess. I seem to be bone deep opposed to being managed. I am trying to get past that feeling so that I can get what benefit is to be had from DBT.
