@QuietMagic
Hi, Magic,
I'm interested in all of it, but I don't think I have the time/energy.ย I'm in finals, work, and looking for an apartment, plus, waiting to hear about the start date for a new job, plus have PTSD.ย I think I can't do this DBT.
DBT workbook constructed in an unbelievably easy way to navigate and utilise free of charge. Thank you quiet magic.
I haven't been active at all in the forums for a couple years, but I'm inching back and noticing that the very first post in this series ("Introduction to DBT") appears to have been deleted for some reason. So now every post in the series contains a broken link. Of the top of my head, this deleted post explained what DBT and also explained what this entire post series is.
For a general intro on what DBT is, I recommend skimming this article:
https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/dbt-for-daily-life/202406/how-marsha-linehan-created-dbt-and-how-it-can-help
The posts in this series are intended to present ideas/skills from DBT based on freely available (but hopefully reputable/reliable) resources on the Internet.
DBT was developed by someone who fell through the cracks of other therapies, felt invalidated and unsupported, and went out of her way to create something that would help people like herself.
In this spirit, if something doesn't work for you or doesn't make sense, I'm happy if you question it, discard it if needed, and trust your lived experience.
[EDIT: the introduction post has been restored.]
I think they did some restructuring, it could just have been moved to an unexpected location.
Maybe worth checking at some point.
@QuietMagic
There has been some forum restructuring, I really hope that it's just been moved and not deleted. This post and all the DBT resources you have put together are so important and highly valued Magic ๐๐๐
