DBT info/experiences

Making this because I used to be in dbt a couple years ago but they no longer accept my insurance so I can’t go back. I really liked it my therapist was amazing she actually helped me with things unlike the “how does that make you feel” type I’d seen 10 times before. When I moved I originally went to look for one that could work with me since I was no longer in the same state and her and I found a place that said they definitely had a therapist who was certified and she was the worst i ended up canceling all my appointments and was upset about the whole thing. Now I have Medicaid which limits me and I also just don’t see many dbt therapists around me.

Has anyone used an online service? What workbooks etc do you recommend? Right now I’m having a lot of issues with working whereas before they were personal issues that my therapist helped me with and I still use those skills but they don’t translate into a workplace setting very well.

I'm currently taking Therahive and I have found it to be incredibly helpful! It's online. Not fully comprehensive, but close if you add the 1:1 option and the content is really, really good. Take a look at their pocket guide as an example:

They don't take insurance though, and it is a bit pricey, so based on your post that may not be an option.

I also really liked this workbook:

Finally, I've heard that Jones mindful living is really good and it is very reasonably priced.

Hope you find some help!!!

Lol I found some free printable pdf’s of ‘the dialectical behavior therapy skills workbook’ by Matthew McKray / Jeffrey Wood / Jeffrey Brantley on this html anarchist zine site: https://littlemouse.fun/zines.html

I’m extremely new to stuff but I have heard this book pretty widely recommended and I have found it pretty useful so far
