Has anyone been in DBT?
 

And was it effective?

Yeh I've done it twice it has saved n changed my life it's hard work very hard work but worth it

Hi,

I have done a few dbt skills groups as ip. They were kinda difficult but groups aren't for me! My care co-ordinator is a dbt therapist as has taught me a few skills, for trying to stay in the moment.
In general the treatment is quite skills based, and you have to be ready and willing to make change.
I'm afraid I can't offer much more advice as a treatment for me it hasn't been thought suitable!

I've done DBT and it has been very helpful. I do struggle with using the skills at times but it does get easier. It is not a quick fix though, it takes lots of practice and a willingness to want to change.

I have found it quite helpful but as mentioned above I too sometimes struggle to use my skills however with time it has got a bit easier. I agree with the above it takes alot of commitment and willingness to stick at it but it does get easier with practice.

Yes I've done a full course. It's very effective if you are willing to put the time and effort in. It does require a lot of hard work, you need to constantly practice your skills and fill out diary sheets.
