First pre-DBT Treatment this afternoon

[HildaOgden]

Got my first pre-DBT treatment this afternoon and am a bit nervous.

I've been on the waiting list for 13 months so it's a long time coming.

Feeling really hopeful about it. I haven't self harmed for nearly three months despite urges, so hoping DBT will help me put self harm behind me for the long term.

A massive well done for three months free!! That's awesome!

Good luck today. I found DBT really useful so I hope you do to.

thanks.. the appt went well & the DBT therapist is really nice.
Just got to get my head around filling out the diary card now
also have to write down three goals for DBT - stop self harming is one which is pretty obvious.. not sure what else.

Ahh I'm glad
U will get used to do the diary cards it becomes a way of life
My goals were
To stop self harming behaviours
Better interpersonal skills
And to become a teacher
