DBT can be really expensive and some insurance policies do not cover DBT. I started practicing DBT through reading books/journal articles. Some books are more geared toward clinicians/professions and use a lot of technical jargon. Others focus more on practicing mindfulness, which is one of the major portions of DBT. I am still working on mindfulness and many of the DBT techniques. It can take awhile to master some of the techniques. Usually, standard DBT programs last about 24 weeks. So far I have less anxiety, more focus, and can handle stress more effectively. Overall, DBT is good stuff. |
