Reply #48: You're lucky you're in a DBT program. Waiting lists are long in my state.

[The empressof all]

You were probably told when you entered into DBT that the process is rigorous, challenging and has rules about missing groups. All of the current research indicates that this form of therapy is quite affective in treatment of the individuals who have the symptoms that have lead to the diagnosis of BPD. You also already know that many with this diagnosis are highly resistant and oppositional to treatment especially when it gets tough. Ultimately it's your choice but you'll never really know if what you can learn through putting the work into your DBT will make your life more manageable unless you follow your treatment plan.
