@outlander You are spot on again Bella.
They were not on her thread, but you and I do our research and work. We dont bum off others. It was in the free pdf sheets I downloaded direct from the DBT website. I did not raise everything on the thread as both Phoenix and I had ambivalent experiences within religion. I so wish she would come back.
At least, I would like her to know I think about her and hope she is doing well.
But she is not the only one who has experienced or posted on DBT.
I am concerned at the posiibilities of rorting our system by the incredible amazing tax payer partial support for roll out of DBT across the nation ... I would prefer to see the same financial emphasis placed on other modalities. Failure to acknowledge American assumptions have damaged my family too deeply. There are many other therapies. DBT is well copyrighted, IMHO takes many forms of knowledge that are in the public domain and weaves it into its platforms and theories.... hmmmmm 
In science theories are subject to a longer period of testing before they get that level of funding.
It is perfect you posted those pages.
Thanks Bella @outlander
I checked the selfhelpdbt site when I first heard of it as a modallity.
I am sure there are a lot of good applications for the ideas in the workbooks.
I have done similar things under all sorts of other labels duing my years on the panet.
I taught Sunday School from 13-16 @outlanderbut in Catholicism its not called that ... Catechism. On Saturday nights I was church organist. Most people understand Sunday School better so I use the Anglican moniker.
I do not need to pass away more money to be told to look at the stars by an American raking in the doh.
I never understood when I took issue of religion seriously and the others in the youth group would snicker and laugh. I did not get it Even the ones in the liturgical committee. It was all confusing and off putting and part of the impetus to leave home. It speaks to me of the degree of acceptance of corruption within the laity of the Catholic Church.
Good Morning Spirit Family xox
All that DBT stuff, heavy! 😞 Think I gotta workout this brain muscle of mine to digest all that. With you there @Adge And i don'tdon't seem to have a lot if time to sit these days.
I have a Faith Story
A couple months ago I was compelled to pickup a good desk chair from council pickup. Didn't need it but knew I had to. Last week a new friend at church (struggling with MI & finances) put a callout for an office chair. I knew immediately - thank you Holy Spirit - I get it now 🙂
