Hello.
DBT individual therapy was good (or can be depending on the T you get and whether they are really into the spirit of it or not). DBT skills training really wasn't for me. The group was fairly diverse and... well... group therapy really isn't my scene.
I had a really good T for 8 months but then she moved regions and, well, had a full on collision with my next T. In the end I was terminated from DBT with the comment 'you have shown no clinically significant improvement with psychological intervention in the last four years and so further psychological intervention is contraindicated'. Ouch. That was crap too. So I was picked up by a charming p-doc (whose name actually did begin with B funnily enough)... They don't usually do therapy but noone else would work with me :(
He left to go to Canada and so I have just started with a new T who hasn't done any DBT but is hoping to inform her CBT with DBT (if you get what I mean). Sorry this turned into a big rambly speel... The upshot is that DBT is okay but p-doc B was better :)
