The DBT book that all the facilitators that run my group work out of is "Skills Training for Borderline Personality Disorder" or something like that - but Marsha Linehan (I think that's how you spell her name) seems to be the authority on it, so I'd assume anything written by her would be useful.

As a client, obviously I only have the worksheets and the stuff we read through, but there's a crapload of resources available. =]

I'm pretty good (in fact my team says I'm a bit high but I'll take that over suicidal any day of the week), I have a pending court case which apparently is likely to result in pre-sentence measures such a psychiatric evaluation by forensic psych - which I'm not overly enthused about as they're likely to add to or change my diagnosis.

But . . . on a more positive note, I'm still persevering with DBT and although it's really difficult, I kind of wish more therapists had been able to explain to me sooner that it's useful for all sorts of things, not just borderline personality disorder. I'm more or less bipolar and I find it useful, and I've talked to loads of people with a MDD diagnosis who say they'd be interested in doing it to . . .

It's so good that you're excited about your work!

Hey Robin. How's things?

I'm honored

Just wanted to say congrats on becoming a TeenHelp Addict
(Not sure when you hit 7,500 posts so hopefully this isn't too late )

Thanks so much!
I definitely will PM you if needed.

I created the threads, so we're ready for conversing and proper mourning of the best A&E show ever.

You, Lynds and I need to get our Intervention nerding on in the social group. I'll make the appropriate posts. I can't believe it's the last season.

*looks up PST* ok the first one I'm out doing stuff, the second . . . oh wait weekend, roughly 5am my time until god knows. How about say, 12:00pm or 1:00pm ish my time on your Saturday, which is . . . about 5:00pm Saturday for you. I could be on earlier though, if that works better.

Oh it's okay, I realised when you didn't reply that you must have had a bed to go to. If we could possibly organise a time to both be in chat, I would really appreciate that.
