Hello I am glad I found your videos, I am curious to know if it is possible to do a home remedy dialectical behavior therapy with my girlfriend who suffers from BPD, i am currently a masters student in forensic psychology and have studied bpd and narcissism personality disorder.
Agreed! We had the surreal (almost out of,body experience) of reaching out and dialing the prevention hotline. This was around 2002:, but the direction given was unexpected! They said that the family member currently in crisis is not within our control , and thus, our only option is to pray. To me, it was a brief and odd instruction. Maybe it’s changed since then?? Maybe they’d say now to call 911, but they didn’t in ‘02!
Wow, best video I have watched. Thank you so much. Just started counseling and was told about DBT as the way she is going to approach helping me. Very well done!
@@therapywithghesline I agree that this is excellent info! I had hoped to use this with my class, however, I won't show anything with typos as it reduces the professionality. If you are able to correct the typos, I will use this video! Thanks.
Heya, very informative content. I'm using this video for an assessment and I was wondering if you would like me to credit you by name or by channel name? cheers :)
I struggle with inner monologue. My inter voice is to loud n it's triggers me. Which also leads to negating thinking with also cause self harm. Yes I concur my pass but thinking n the high emotions
Are you wondering if DBT would help with ADHD? I often use DBT skills with clients suffering from ADHD, although it doesn't address symptoms of ADHD per say. The thing I've found most helpful with clients who have ADHD is establishing a routine. I understand that is inherently difficult with ADHD, but it kind of like how exposure is often the "cure" for anxiety - not what you want to hear and yet still true. Hope this helps!!
I was diagnosed recently at age 43, with BPD and was referred to a voluntary inpatient program by a state psychologist whom I sought out to help with marijuana dependence, but I live in the third world where, unfortunately, dual therapy is not possible and 'drug addicts' cannot be accommodated. I've subscribed to your channel and hope to get some useful information that might help me move forward and somehow get out of this unemployed, creatively stunted, disempowered bottomless pit of uselessness and shame I find myself in.
That’s rough and I’m really sorry to hear that. Have you taken the MBTI? That’s sometimes helpful in understanding our presentation. BPD is considered by some and incurable but I really don’t believe that. I also use to be a big proponent of cannabis until I learned it can cause very severe issues with delusional thinking and even psychosis. It’s really something that doctors should have some oversight with but alas that is not the case. Again I’m sorry to hear about your struggles. It sounds like you’re working on coping skills though which is a great route.
I love the concept of "relational violations" because I feel it accurately describes the experiences so many of my clients with substance use disorders describe to me. They feel disconnected, unworthy, and unseen - and using is their way of coping. To see their suffering as a result of relational violations really solidifies the importance of reconnection for sustainable healing.
I've mastered emotional control through stoicism, but I still struggle with external validation, every mistake is proof of my incompetence whereas most successes are just luck.
@@BharatSingh-il6jh finally someone who can relate! I have what people call a "nervous laugh" because I tend to chuckle unintentionally, I've tried to be more stoic but it persists despite my efforts.
@@nomadronin707 is it smile or laugh because I think I can control my laughter but not smile. My smile is triggered when I sitting among people who are just sitting quietly and I feel one of them is looking at me in such a situation I used to be very sad or nervous but overtime to look less sad I may have learnt to create a smile..my problem is I can't keep a still confident face
Good job, I'm in the same boat, so I feel you. Stoicism has really helped me with anger, stress and anxiety, but I still struggle with perfectionism and self doubt. Good luck to you, memento mori and all that 😊
I made this silly mnemonic to help with memory aids. Imagine a BOW-en arrow. Hopefully, this tip can help you with recall. 1) When you shoot with a bow and arrow, and miss the target=Triangle (visualize this instead of a circle) you become emotional. 2) Each arrow is unique=differentiated self. 3) the whole bag of arrows=nuclear fam system 4) you project where it will land=fam projective process. 5) how good your dad's dad's dad was at aiming will determine your multi-generational transmission process. 6) if you run out of arrows, you will be cut off and more emotional. 7) You compete based on sibling order. 8) and society's emotional process will determine if you got a bulls-eye! Furthermore, BOW-en-IAN therapists assume the role of COACH. To drive it deeper, (pun intended) You are an 'exTENSION' of your family's 'PROJECTION' process, it refers to the TRANSMISSION of emotional immaturity from one generation to the next. } ---->
I was diagnosed very late as BPD wasn't really a 'thing' for those in the mental health field during my early years. I was only diagnosed with ADHD until I was in my 50's by the history of my difficulty during my school years. In my 20's the 'trend' was 'depression'. I feel personally all my diagnoses fit within the BPD traits profile.
This is a seriously wonderful video… And if people want to change your life and become better at everything including what I was I was a suicidal, lunatic, drug attic, meth head, alcohol, loser… And I worked my tail off and here I am better than ever… Because of videos and people like you… Also, I went to about five ERs and two treatment centers and multiple 5150s… But here we are✅
@@alouise3557 5150 In California it means you are put under mandatory medical evaluation for 72hrs if you are potentially a harm to yourself or others. I'm sure there are other explanations.
Its a really great intro video to DBT. Just want to mention theres a few typos throughout the video - 1:03 (approach), at 3:34 (consistent), at 5:20 (sensitivity & receive), at 7:21 (effectiveness). Thanks for making mental health resources more available :)
My First contact with DBT.,Excellent info thanks a lot. It seems to be more complex & complicated in its foundations. Vitalists view sensitivity, reactivity susceptibility, defence mechanisms as part of vital force. DBT grabbed more from it. Am I correct if I say -Unlike CBT it is more bio-socio-emotional. It Picked the points left by Beck. How DBT is different in handling thought change?
Hello! I’m looking forward to responding properly to you comment and questions because is a great topic for discussion. When I can get to my computer I will attend to your questions!
To answer your question “How does DBT deal with cognition/thought change compared to CBT?” DBT approaches thought change first through the emphasis of dialectics as a paradigm. Mindfulness is a major component to thought change in DBT, which is practiced every therapy session and is eventually lead by the client. DBT integrates CBT techniques within the skills development categories - these categories allow someone to identify the skill they want to improve and offers a variety of ways to accomplish that using evidence based interventions (CBT being one option).
DBT is absolutely more focused on bio socio emotional elements. DBT dips into why we are the way we are. This can facilitate the “acceptance” part of “acceptance and change” and is often very validating. Validation is pivotal and often makes it possible to then I engage in learning skills such as identifying cognitive distortions and core beliefs.
