I couldn't watch this because my BPD triggers could not be controlled. 🤐
This type of bullshit therapy is no more effective than placebo.
God, it's like he took the words out of my mouth. I think it's time I invest in the DBT workbook.
People with Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD) often receive a wide range of coping strategies and therapeutic tools through treatment, particularly from modalities like Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). However, it’s not uncommon for patients to subconsciously become dismissive or resistant to advice—especially when they feel misunderstood or emotionally overwhelmed. This isn’t defiance; it’s often a protective response rooted in fear of vulnerability or invalidation.
What makes a real difference is how you show up in the moment. When you actively listen—not just to the words, but to the emotions underneath—and engage with genuine curiosity about what they’re trying to express, something shifts. The person begins to feel seen, not analyzed. That sense of attunement can foster trust and openness in ways that go far beyond what advice alone can achieve. In many cases, your presence and responsiveness become more therapeutic than any technique.
A therapist said I was one of the w az one of. The walking wounded 😮
Oh my goodness I have found someone who expresses how I feel! Yes!!!
“A clean, organized house”
How can i contact that therapist?
I see everything but emotional connection from the therapist… he mentions feeling like being shot while you are alive and nobody sees you and there’s… no emotional response. What could ever be achieved without empathy?

😂😂😂
Are there any current stuff on DBT, or had mecicircle ended
Omg…this patient professional interaction is the thing that annoys me. The patient is just asking how to be helped and the professional is just repeating what he's said,what the ineffective strategies are, 8.54 mins and she's still.not given any strategies. By now in real.life this interaction would be causing me extreme rage, as my cup and brain is already full and she's adding to it… shes asking too much questions..I'd have walked out..I'm in wait list for DBT so just trying to learn

Parasites affect our bodies and mental state. Trad Western Doctors are not acknowledging this but anyone can look into it. Private FB or Telegram groups share more insights and first hand healing experience than you will find on Pharma sponsored Mainstream sources.
Thank you for sharing this DBT session and process, very generous and courageous. ❤
Very realistic psychologist/counsellor outfit. And the cross is really comforting. In fact, I’d feel comfortable talking to this woman about absolutely nothing.
I learned more from this video than from my very expensive couples therapist
I can relate to this because all I want to do is go to bed when I return from work and all weekend.
DBT should be part of public schooling. I took a weekly Telehealth DBT class for three months and it helped so much with emotional regulation. I loved that there were actual physical things I could do to help with anxiety and effusive emotions. Picturing my happy place never worked for me because so have aphantasia, but I learned about so many ways to work through my Alexithymia and regulating my physiological reactions to stress thanks to DBT. I seriously think everyone can benefit from DBT.
Thanks
By her saying “Ah Ha “. Is distracting. She says it too much and it interferes with his thoughts and a problem for the listener .
Very cognitive approach. Nothing to do with real healing. You can get this advice on Google or from a good friend. What is the need of a therapist?
