In reply to anyone heard of this?, posted by girl on July 21, 2003, at 13:27:28
I have "The Skills Training Manual for Borderline Personality Disorder". I also attended a 6 month DBT group (that's the Skills training class that the manual describes).
Yes, the manual is written for Therapists. My personal opinion is that if you are going through it for the first time you will need a therapist (or patient who has gone throught it before) to help you understand it. Your current individual therapist can go through the exercises with you, if she is willing. But I think it is helpful to do it in a group. Do you know if there are any DBT classes nearby?
It is really important information. It's worth the effort to go through it.
If I had tried to do it all by myself I would have been totally lost. I was still lost in some sections.
Good luck!!!
