assesement for dbt

[angel of despair]

Well today I had an asseesement for dbt, a panel of therapists decide if im suitable for it. I'm wondering what reasons would make them reject my application? i dont want to be rejected.. find out in a month the results

I don't fully know, but I think it depends a bit on what stage of your recovery you are at and whether they feel you are well enough to fully engage with the programme and get the most out of it. I am guessing that there are limited places on the programme and they want to ensure that those who get a place are those that will benefit most (if that made sense?)

I had DBT as an inpatient, and the ward it was run on was basically the self-harm rehab ward, so it was non-acute patients that had access to it (if that makes any sense at all? my mind is kinda woolly right now)

I had an assessment for DBT last week. It was a 1 to 1 with a psychiatrist in psychotherapy. I see her again on Thursday. Basically the first one was to see if my self harm/suicidality was severe enough. The second bit is to check to see if I have BPD.
May be this is what the panel will decide?
