Find A Counselor

Figuring out how to feel better after being scammed is a tough road, and many turn to a counselor/therapist to help them through this journey. The problem is, there aren't any other counselors showing that they specialize in this or work with it. At least not that I have found! I created this video to give you some ideas of what to look for if you are searching for a counselor.

Hi My name is Bob and I am in a program that would work well for scam victims. The program is calmed DBT. I recommend looking into this and share. Look for therapist that have been trained for DBT. They must have a special certification. Might be from the state where you live. The person who founded DBT. Her name is Marcia Linehan

Bob, thank you so much for mentioning DBT (dialectical behavioral therapy). It is an effective and freeing method to use when emotions get to be overwhelming. It has helped a lot of people. You can find books, videos, resources online that include worksheets, and also many counselors are trained in helping people use DBT to feel better. There are four areas in DBT that have both specific tools to use and all four areas complement each other as well; they are mindfulness, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and emotion regulation. I’ve been trained in and use DBT often, even if I don’t specifically say it at the time. In fact, some of the self care and other healing things I mention in these videos incorporate some DBT. All my best to you!
