DBT is a lot of work while going through it. It requires a person to be very thoughtful, honest, and mindful. But as with developing any new habit or skill, if a person puts in the diligence for the time required, the person ends up with something which becomes second nature to them. <br /><br />So, the advice I would have is to go in with an open mind, honesty, and the determination to do all the at-home work involved. It is not the type of therapy where the person goes in once a week and is the passive recipient of knowledge. No - this is a revelation and fundamental shift in thinking which can only come about by the person's own effort. <br /><br />I hope this is encouraging, because the success is not so much in another person's efforts, but in your own. I think the trick is to apply the skills being learned, mindfully, and daily. DAILY. CONSTANTLY. Until it becomes a part of you. <br />Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196678364556928854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670822583067358845.post-87189397555545113172014-06-01T12:20:19.754-04:002014-06-01T12:20:19.754-04:00I am just beginning a DBT group and I have concern...I am just beginning a DBT group and I have concerns about how effective it may be for me. I have been unable to respond to many other psychiatric techniques and I fear that, even with my most ardent efforts, DBT will join those other techniques as something that didn't work for me. Any advice for a novice with the fears I have?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11659631463892777413noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6670822583067358845.post-79130261319960471362011-12-19T18:52:33.497-05:002011-12-19T18:52:33.497-05:00I've been through DBT.
