I love how she admits she struggles to work with patients. She even makes it clear she needed to get a LOT of feedback from her patients to even know where to begin addressing people's problems. Too many therapists get a big ego about how much they understand the human mind. I've had several therapists who take a huge amount of hubris in their insight. One of the hardest lessons in life is that the human mind isn't as logical as its owner likes to beleive... Even my mind is like that.

[@BeholdIamaNewCreation]

I have Quiet BPD, MDD, CPTSD, have had several psychosis with some grand delusions. The mind can only take so much before it fractures. The thing I am doing is allowing God to heal me and show me what I need to heal. 1) Self-acceptance using guided meditation to consolidate my own energy. 2) Treating each co-occurring diagnosis separately. 3) Magic mushrooms (yes I realize it’s dangerous for those like us with tendencies for delusions and psychosis). But it has helped incredibly for the depression, and also a catalyst for reviewing and healing the trauma. 4) Learning to trust yourself - I do believe having a daily routine of self care is essential. And adding small things that make you feel purposeful. 5) I make a daily video diary. I felt a huge instinct to make a video every day and discuss my process. But felt I need to keep it private. Soooooo huge! I see someone else commented this on this video and it is true. It is critical for you to hear your thoughts out loud and back, and send love to your replay person. Because you are healing that. That’s all I got for now folks. The VA doesn’t have DBT near me. So, I have to treat myself for now.

[@LiLaLizzy8]

Thank you for that comment. How are you doing now? Do you still take mushrooms? May I ask how often and do they help you? I have MDD, C-PTSD myself... Also I have several autoimmune diseases and nearly died, which causes a lot of trauma and anxiety. I just hope you can work through this. I really wish you all the best. Every hint would be very helpful for me, but I can also understand if you don't want to share further. Thank you for this comment.

[@BeholdIamaNewCreation]

@@LiLaLizzy8 Yes, Last year I asked God to heal me. I was promised full restoration. He has given it to me through guiding me to partake in group meetings, therapy, microdosing and a few macrodoses. Also, I had to be cleared from demonic oppression. Deliverance ministry and now I have a daily regime where I walk daily twice a day and pray daily. I also journal to help me integrate my experiences. The biggest hurdle is the shame cycles and the brain reminding me of my past. Therefore, the battle is simply maintenance at this point. I have overcome by the power and strength of the Lord and my own resilience and determination. I micro dose twice a week now; down from every other day. I hope this helps. For folks like us; the answer isn't merely psychological. It is often accompanied by spiritual forces due to early childhood trauma which opened a gateway for demonic forces to come in and lay havoc. But my God is greater. Each day needs to be taken with it's own lesson and growth. Somedays you will weep and lament; others will be filled with joy and rejoicing. But in the end; it is the simple daily tasks of praying, journaling, and renewing your mind that will set you free. We are who set free; are free indeed. BTW, I believe Jesus said it himself best: I have come that they would have life, and live more abundantly. Not a get rich quick scheme. Rather, he showed us the tools necessary to set ourselves free in his strength. Ask God to guide your journey.

So I’ve been struggling with PTSD, depression, and various anxiety disorders. I’ve been in CBT since 2013 with slow to very little progression. I heard about DBT, and I looked it up and got the manual for it. I started reading through the manual about a year ago, and it felt like it was written for me and my problems. In other words, it just clicked so much with me, more than CBT. So I’ve been struggling to get into one of the DBT groups in my area. They aren’t very good at returning calls. They’re fairly new, so maybe that’s why. It’s very hard to find a DBT therapist in my area that takes Medicaid. In the meantime, my current therapist has been working on some DBT basics with me. She’s not trained and doesn’t own a manual. She made it clear that she doesn’t feel comfortable delving deep into it with me. She just pointed me in the direction of a university that does DBT, but I have to find out if they take my coverage.

[@octoberdawn1087]

The most maddening part to all of this is is that they will not diagnose people properly if there's no need for medication. For years I did not understand how I was not borderline, I'm very self aware, I'm very solution driven, and nobody would help me. They could, they chose not to, because of the stigma and the very very broken old system that most medical people in the US still go by. I have more diagnosis than fingers on one hand.... ok. Let that be MY problem so I don't make it other people's problem. Please. I needed help understanding "this" but they would not even honestly let me know what "this" was.. They kept saying that I did not want to be borderline because it could not be medicated. How freak'n convienient for THEM. But very inconvenient for somebody who wanto be better.. I want peace for crying out loud which means I want peace for the people around me as well. I wish I could go back and start over for all the years were they refused to help me... Well I wish I'd never had this at all I wish I didn't have the drama I wish I didn't have the memories I didn't live in a culture where people want to be mentally ill for likes..... But at the very least I wish that they would have been honest with me... I had to run screaming with my kid--- at at the risk of them seeking protection services after me--- God knows what kind of crazy treatments they would have forced her and do like they did me for so many years--- Forced epileptic medication that I did not need, forced sterilization medications that gave me permanent migrained disorders--- I had to run and completely be willing to lose all services so that I could save us both because I knew they were sinking as deeper and deeper and deeper into mental illness without giving us any resource to spiral out of it. Thank you thank you for this lady. It's rough for me as an adult trying to untangle this nonsense 💜 Knowledge is power. One helpful tip for me, and I was considered 1 of these hopeless types, is have a private video journal. Please for your own sake do not make it public. This is just for you. Spend a year looking at yourself. You can use KZbin as a platform to upload your stuff as long as you do it locked 🔒 so nobody can see it. Pretend like you're making videos for the public but for god's sake do not make them public. I cannot stress this enough. If you want to make it public in a few years after you've had time to get to know yourself and understand what the hell is really going on, you always have the opportunity later. But you can't go back and undo it if you change your mind later after you've grown leaps and bounds. I didn't even really understand how much I was mixing my words up, I would be convinced I said something but then from recording myself & editing, this put a mirror in front of me that I was completely mixing up words- like I would say "mailbox" instead of "microwave". I had no clue I was doing this.... but then I caught myself doing it on camera and I was like "oh my God I have so many amends to make". I also caught myself in a rage meltdown.. Now granted these are things that honestly believe I had no control of until I saw myself do it and compared it to how I've seen other people do it and I was like "Oh hell no I don't want to be like this..." Not to mention how many people in the world really really do fake mental illness so they can get attention on the Internet, But they don't realize that they really really are mentally ill and they don't have to fake anything. So then how is this helpful? How are people going to get real help when they're so far out that they have to pretend to be mentally ill.. When they already are!?!?!? They do this because they try to get help and there is really hardly any help out there to be had.... Which proves that the people that are training to be helpers have their own mental illnesses that they refuse to address... 😼🐀😼🐀😼🐀😼🐀😼🐀😼🐀😼🐀 We need more people like this wonderful lady. I'm the kind of brain that wants homework every time I go to the therapist. If you see me again and I haven't done my homework, sit with me and do it right then and there because I don't know how to do the homework. I want to do the homework but I don't know how. So I need somebody to do it with me a few times so I can fly solo. Borderline is that weird thing where you don't want it but knowing you have it is helpful but only if you have the resources or you've had a lot of time to already work on yourself and get to know yourself. Please do not let it be a death sentence. Don't let it be a forever since. It's not medicated. It's an inside job. For me that means ME. By the way, For anybody struggling with this and you're surrounded by people that refuse to listen but just give you impossible advice 🧐..... if somebody tells you, "If I was you I would do this…" You can kindly remind them that no you wouldn't because that is not what "ME" means. 🙏🙏🙏 Stay Golden

Despite its strong empirical support, DBT obviously does not have positive outcomes for all individuals. It is critical that cases of DBT nonresponse be analyzed so that further treatment development efforts can be made to enhance treatment outcomes for all individuals in DBT.

[@MatteasMom7]

I wonder if the nonresponse is in situations where true DBT is not being practiced? A lot of therapists say they do DBT, but it's DBT lite without a consultation team, skills training or phone coaching which are the 3 central components.

[@TatjanaMeierxxx]

Self-harm and suicidal thoughts are the first thing DBT focuces on but in no way the last. Self-harm would be natural after a therapy session talking about trauma so it has to be solved or get better (reduce frequency and such) first. Same goes to other impulsive and/or self-destructive behaviours. It isn't a 100 percent succesful treatment but there is no treatment that would be. It also depends on the therapeutic team providing it. What I want to say is: dbt is not an abusive treatment in my experience but rather effective.

Dear "dbt is bull shit". Keep one critical fact in mind; MANY and I do mean many as in most Clinicians who practice DBT, are profoundly untrained to deliver DBT effectively. Sadly, unless a therapist is Linehan trained over a minimum of 5-7 years, that person is NOT able to deliver DBT w positive lasting results. So 'trying' DBT w a therapist who is highly trained with a Linehan certification proving their ability to divide it as it's meant to be provided, its highly unlikely the client will get results, in fact clients often get worse. Do your research on the therapist! A 2-day DBT training makes that therapist ready to do no DBT. And yet that typically what therapists get re: training and then advertise they do DBT. The only policing of DBT therapists is found at www.dbt-LBC.org. Anything less? One can expect a very poor outcome. I sincerely hope you're able to find what you need. If you're in FL? Go to www.fbpda.org for a list of the highest trained DBT Clinicians statewide. Be aware. And write me back if you're still suffering, or a loved is in need still of solid help w positive results.
