Hey terrics
i know this is a belated how are things, but just wanted to see how you are from one cutter to another.
I haven't been in therapy very long so i don't want to speak badly of any therapy and maybe i just don't understand DBT but i don't understand why they would "punish" you and not let you call your T for 24 hours after you cut. I don't know about you but for me cutting is SO 'in the moment' that i normally can't really control too much. usually i'm hysterical or boiling with anger or hatred (though usually at myself) that i cut otheer parts of me so i don't cut my wrists or something stupid. Even after you cut, if you still need more i would hope that you could call someone instead of holding your feelings over for another 24 hours?
am i not understanding here? and does this method seem to work for people? -fyi i am being sincere here, not sarcastic or mean. I just want to understand.
and maybe what i seem to feel when i cut is just different than 'normal'????
any thoughts or explanations helpful.and i Truly hope you are doing well Terrics.
B2c.
