Read about Jane’s experiences – an individual with Borderline Personality Disorder – who has undergone comprehensive DBT skills training, and how it has positively impacted her life.
I first learned about DBT from my psychiatrist after being diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder. She recommended it as a well-established treatment for BPD, and I was desperate for something that could help me regain control over my emotions and relationships.
DBT skills training has been a life-changing experience for me. It's a group-based program, where we learn and practice various skills in four main modules: mindfulness, emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. The sessions are structured, and we're encouraged to practice the skills outside of the group as well.
Mindfulness and emotion regulation have been the most transformative skills for me. Mindfulness helps me become more aware of my thoughts and feelings, and this awareness allows me to better manage my emotions. Emotion regulation skills, like opposite action and checking the facts, have given me tools to challenge my intense emotions and act in healthier ways.
DBT has significantly improved my relationships. The interpersonal effectiveness module helped me learn how to communicate more effectively, set boundaries, and assert my needs without damaging relationships. I've become more understanding and empathetic towards others, and my relationships have become more stable and fulfilling as a result.
Sure! I was in a situation where I felt rejected by a close friend, which would have previously led me to react impulsively and potentially harm the relationship. Instead, I used mindfulness to observe my thoughts and emotions without judgment. I then applied emotion regulation skills to challenge my initial interpretation and found that I had misunderstood the situation. This helped me respond in a more balanced way and maintain the friendship.
I would highly recommend DBT skills training to anyone struggling with BPD. It requires commitment and practice, but the benefits are worth it. Don't expect immediate results; be patient with yourself and trust the process. The skills you learn will become invaluable tools in managing your emotions and improving your relationships.
