In reply to DBT thoughts of suicide***why?, posted by terrics on July 13, 2004, at 21:38:37
You left a chaotic but caring therapeutic relationship for this DBT therapeutic relationship that, at least right now from what you've told us since you started, appears to be less than perfect. You're probably experiencing a lot of feelings about DBT. I think I would be feeling very very angry. And when I get angry, I feel automatic self destructive thoughts. But when I talk about how angry I feel, I feel less self destructive.
I don't know if that's at all useful to you, because you might be feeling completely different things in your situation.
Do you have any flexibility at all in *which* DBT therapist you use? I know they require that you use a therapist from their program, but I imagine that different DBT therapists are different in their approach to therapy, even if they all use the same manual, because of character differences.
Don't let this situation cause you to harm yourself. There have to be other options.
