After waiting for a long time for the right kind of help, I decided to join a 6 month DBT program. I have a lot of anxiety, depression, and I supress my emotions a lot of the time. I've been really liking the practical format of DBT and I feel like after my first session, I feel really good about the individual therapist as well because she is an art therapist also, and loves to combine the techniques. However, I got to Googling about DBT and while I found a lot of positive information about it, I went on some forums and some people were really trash-talking it, saying how it doesn't work and how its a scam and isn't a great form of therapy and didn't do anything for them. Because I have a tendancy to focus on the negative stuff, i suddenly feel really anxious about my decision to go into the DBT program. I keep ruminating on whether or not it is helpful or not. Even though I feel like it's helping me, because I read all that other stuff I feel really doubtful. It's almost like I'm worried that I'll improve with the treatment and if I see a bad review about it or bad opinion about it, all my progress will be fake.... It's a little wierd, but my OCD has really latched on to it. I wish I could just enjoy the program without questioning it too much, but I can't seem to get other people's opinions and experiences out of my head. Also, Has anyone else tried DBT?
