Title: New and interested in dbt Post by: Tanager on May 31, 2020, 02:10:46 PM I'm the mother of a young adult daughter recently discharged from an eating disorder clinic. Our story, like most, is long, complicated, and full of pain. I would like to learn more about dialectical behavioral therapy, perhaps online. We live in a remote area. Thanks!

Which eating disorder does your daughter have? Has she been diagnosed with BPD? Title: Re: New and interested in dbt Post by: Tanager on June 02, 2020, 09:13:09 AM Yes she has a recent diagnosis. Anorexia and self-harm are the physical manifestations. She struggles with self-loathing and suicidal ideation. We live in a small town with very few resources. From my limited knowledge of dbt, I find that emotional validation really helps my daughter. Would appreciate information on online dbt classes for my daughter or family. Thanks so much.

I'm about to give you a lot of information. My suggestion is that you start a "DBT Folder" for your favorite browser & bookmark the links I'm about to give you. It will make it easier for you in the long run. EATING DISORDER: I discovered Therapist, Andrea Wachter, from an audio course of her's that was featured on the app, InsightTimer. That lead me to check out her website & explore other things she had to offer. Firstly, I highly recommend the app "InsightTimer" (available in both Android & Apple). It has lots of options for various types of meditation & destressing. The basics are free. If you are interested in some of the courses, you have to go Premium ($60 per year/$5 month). The courses should have things to offer your daughter & support the "mindfulness" aspect of DBT. Andrea Wachter's website is: www.andreawachter.com/ Check out her blogs, books & audio classes on Insight Timer. She has an audio course on Insight Timer - "How To Make Peace With The Body You Live In", which addresses body image. She has another course, "Your Anxiety Tool Kit" Andrea has two 15-minute meditations on insight Timer: Stress Less Meditation & Kind Mind Meditation: FOR DBT STARTERS: 1. The self-service website below is a good starting point for DBT info. & training. It would be a good starting point: DBT SELF-HELP https://www.dbtselfhelp.com/ 2. BUY SOME BOOKS & ACQUIRE SOME DBT WORKSHEETS BOOKS DBT Skills Training Manual, Second Edition https://www.amazon.com/DBT%C2%AE-Skills-Training-Manual-Second/dp/1462516998 DBT® Skills Training Handouts and Worksheets, Second Edition https://www.amazon.com/Skills-Training-Handouts-Worksheets-Second/dp/1572307811/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/139-4744720-2169246?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=1572307811&pd_rd_r=0f82555f-5c88-474f-a5ea-108a28c4952a&pd_rd_w=skHFY&pd_rd_wg=aWw7K&pf_rd_p=4e3f7fc3-00c8-46a6-a4db-8457e6319578&pf_rd_r=NA146JT6T1SCP26WP4DB&psc=1&refRID=NA146JT6T1SCP26WP4DB VIDEO DBT Peer Connections Skills Training Videos https://ilovedbt.wordpress.com/dbt-peer-connections-skills-training-video-series/dbtvideos/ WORKSHEETS Therapist Aid https://www.therapistaid.com/therapy-worksheets/dbt/adults Note: Therapist Aid has a lot of resources. You can download most worksheets without payiing a fee. To modify or edit the worksheets, you need to join & get a paid membership. PsychPoint https://www.psychpoint.com/mental-health/worksheets/dbt-worksheets/ I just discovered the PsychPoint website recently. After clicking a specific worksheet, go to the bottom of the page. They allow a time period to read the instructions & then you can gain access to open a worksheet. DBT CLASSES ONLINE: I'm not sure about this one, but I'll throw out some thoughts & some info I did find. I don't know anything about these two sources, other than I found them online: https://emotionallysensitive.com/classes/ https://dbtclasses.com/services/ It might be worthwhile to just do a search for the area you live in (nearest larger city). There could be a DBT source that doesn't advertise online DBT therapy, but it might be something to research. With the Covid-19 situation, a lot of practices started doing therapy online.

DBT is great strategy for anyone & helps to develop/enhance emotional intelligence. A tool for life.Some people come back to start threads on specific DBT tools & using them in specific situations. That's something you might consider. |
