Starting New Treatment

Posted on October 7, 2015 by abstemious2eternity

Tomorrow is the first day of my orientation for my year-long DBT program. I’m so excited, but also very nervous. I am hopeful it will be helpful. I also am unsure what to expect. Plus, I’ll be doing this program with the same people for a year, so here’s hoping we all get along well.

I meet with my therapist before the orientation, and then have orientation, then I’m going over to my brother’s for the remainder of the day to work on my Magic: the Gathering Commander deck and play a little Magic.

On the agenda for today: pack. Did I mention I’m moving? I just have no idea where to yet.

Good luck! I’d be interested to hear how you get on…I’m due to start DBT in about 4 weeks time. Can’t muster up any excitement at the moment as it means stopping my current therapy but I’m hopeful too 🙂 x

  Yeah, I have to stop my current treatment too and switch therapists, which I’m not excited about, but I’ve heard good things about DBT and I need something to change in my life.

Best wishes on your DBT journey! My program was only a couple months, but I learned a lot of life-changing skills and I find that I keep returning to the exercises and handouts when life throws me increased stress or difficulty. Also, hooray for playing Magic! 🙂

  Oops posted that before I’d finished! It can’t be easy swapping therapy but I’m sure it will be worth it- good luck with the orientation.

You will do great. I mean, come on – you play MtG. I haven’t played in a while, but I have an awesome Green/Black deck. Cheers to you!
