*hugs Felicia* Please please tell your Pysch Dr , or therapist or counsellor about your date , I'd hate anything to happen to you :(

*Hugs Ian* You're not moaning mate, thats why we are here , to support each other , things would NOT be better off if you killed yourself :(

*Hugs Kahlia* I do NOT like CBT either , I was my former CPN's guinea pig as she was being trained and I found it too invasive.

Mark: CBT only works if the person believes it works - like most talk therapies. I had people using it on me and I'm not good at therapies that try to "push" you into doing things. I tend to push back instead of going where they want. *shrug* For me it isn't invasive ... I just don't talk. They get "yes" and "no" answers and nothing else which means they go nowhere and get frustrated and I get frustrated when they just keep rephrasing the questions.

*hugs mark and kahlia*
whats the difference between DBT and CBT? they seem pretty similar to me.

Quote:

CBT is not necessarily different than DBT. CBT is a term that refers to any type of psychotherapy that focuses on addressing the cognitive (thoughts and beliefs) and behavioral (actions) aspects of a disorder to reduce symptoms. DBT is actually one specific type of CBT that is used to treat borderline personality disorder.

When Dr. Marsha Linehan, the psychologist who developed DBT, first began testing treatments for people with BPD, she found that traditional CBT alone was not as helpful to people with BPD because of its strong focus on change, which people sometimes found invalidating. For this reason, she designed DBT to include some elements that, in the past, were not traditionally part of CBT. For example, in DBT there is a strong emphasis on mindfulness and acceptance (both by the patient and the therapist).

What is confusing is that, since DBT was developed, more and more cognitive-behavioral therapists have started to include some of these new modifications in their practice. There are also a number of other new CBTs for a variety of disorders that include elements such as mindfulness; one example is mindfulness-based cognitive therapy, or MBCT, for depression. As a result, DBT and other new therapies that include elements such as mindfulness and acceptance are being called “third-wave” cognitive-behavioral therapies because they represent a new trend in CBTs in general.

Hope that answers your question Nicole :)

*Hugs Helen* How are you today?

My Mobile was playing up so I had to use Master Reset and it's erased all my saved texts:( I had some nice motivational ones on there from friends I have and more upsettingly friends I've lost touch with . Nuts .

I don't see my counselor or my psych until Dec 7. I know that's not too far away, but it feels so far away... So much for them thinking I'm doing better.

*Hugs Mark* I'm sorry about your phone. That sucks majorly. Can the company help you recover those texts or is that not possible? (My company has a backup thing that will recover lost things if that happens)
*Hugs Heather* I'm with you. I'd love to go to England and skip Thanksgiving.
*Hugs Kahlia* I'm sorry you can't sleep.

I agree, Felicia. Please reach out to someone, they will hopefully be able to help.

*Spots and Hugs Lindsay*

I'm wondering who would be the best to call. I'm about just to say I need to see my whole team at once, since it'll go through them all anyway.

*Hugs Lindsay and Lia* How're you guys?

Quiet ward tonight. I've just finished my theatre studies homework and I swear if I hear the name 'Brecht' one more time, I might throttle someone. Sociology now, oh the joys. I'm alright though.

I still need to work on my Brit Lit paper. No motivation. It's almost 3 PM and I still haven't really gotten out of bed for more than an hour or so.

*Hugs Lia*Who's that "B" person? Don't throttle me!

*Hugs Felicia*I'm sorry you have no motivation , me either sometimes , *Extra Hugs*
