reasons I hated myself. Psychodynamic, DBT (very different from CBT), and trauma informed therapy have been good for me.

days like this, i feel so left behind by the mental health system. as a "high-functioning" person with bpd, i've been told i'm "not bad enough" for standard dbt programs. but when things got bad, i got abused.
even if trauma-informed bpd care was available in ireland (lol) i couldn't afford it.

I've heard of DBT & have had some excellent therapists who I'm sure were informed by it, but mainly I was riffing off what works for me or I've picked up along the way. I'm so glad it helped your family! +My mom went to rehab when I was 11 & it's def possible that some of this is 12-step-adjacent!

Unraveling
Vinyl LP pressing. Drive-By Truckers is kicking off the new election year with The Unraveling, their first new album in 3 1/2 years (the longest space between DBT albums ever). Those years were among the most tumultuous our country has ever seen and the duality between the generally positive state of affairs within the band and the turbulent world outside (or as Patterson Hood puts it: "watching so many things we care about be decimated and destroyed") informed the writing of this album to the core.

I suggest a trauma specialist bc CBT only therapy, while helpful, can actually make cptsd and other disorders worse, especially if you have a tendency to be overliteral & tough on yourself. DBT helps more with personality disorders, & trauma informed therapists tend to be more flexible in treatment

i think a trauma-informed therapist would be a good choice, especially one who works with emdr and dbt, like the replier i replied to earlier said. they tend to be better at handling difficulties with trust, i have found, and dbt saved my life and emdr is actively saving it right now

Many people with psychosis want support to manage their emotions but it’s often lacking. It was great to talk about our work on DBT informed therapy adapted for psychosis at the BABCP DBT SIG AGM with clinicians from around the country. Further events to follow via the Society For DBT and BABCP..

You may want to ask your psychologist about CBT along the lines of ERP (a therapy for OCD which is about exposing you to anxiety in a controlled manner so you can navigate through it) or PE or perhaps DBT. (EMDR uses trauma-informed CBT principles, to the point some call it a purple hat therapy.)

Trauma-informed therapy is ideal. I recommend going with therapists that use CBT and/or DBT because they use the scientific method to create treatments.***

A lot of the things that were used in the trauma-informed yoga sessions also incorporated other skills from more common therapy methods. Focusing on breathing and feeling grounded in your body tied back into things like DBT skills.

Also, they're not informed on ed research...re teaching styles, they claim an 'overwhelmingly focus on higher education, with much less evidence on the use and effectiveness of LBT [i.e. passive] vs. DBT [i.e. active] in earlier education like during mandatory schooling'. This is an absurd comment!

Well, there's a lot to unpack there, and I am not an expert in ASPD tx, but I do see quite a lot of application of ASPD-adjacent diagnoses (esp conduct disorder) on kids w I/DD, so I stay curious & skeptical. DBT is quite behaviorist and I'm mostly ok with it except when it isn't trauma-informed.
