Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hello, I'm new to this list. My name is Laurel, and I've just begun working with the GOOYM book with my DBTindividual therapist. I'm wondering if anyone else on this list is currently or has been in DBT (Dialectical Behavior Training).As well as I can tell from the book, ACT and DBT are very complementary. I noticed one reference, so far, to a study where Marsha Linehan (creator of DBT) was cited as one of the particpants. Since I've been doing DBT for 2 years it seems that ACT is a good place for me to be focusing now. Mindfulness and willingness are big components in DBT.So, I'm grateful to see this chart. that forwarded to the group about what willingness is and isn't. People in my DBT group struggle with this all the time. I'm ready to step in up in my commitment to willingness.I look forward to sharing with you and hearing your stories and experiences.LaurelSubject: RE: Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses.To: ACT_for_the_Public Date: Thursday, September 4, 2008, 8:00 PM HI think the answer lies in willing acceptance. I have automatically assumed that it is your negative experiences that you want to forget – I can’t think that we would want to forget the good times. I picked up the following from one of the top class ACT resources – I think this is from Russ , but whoever the author is, I hope it’s OK to reproduce it here: ,___ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 5, 2008 Report Share Posted September 5, 2008 Hi, DBT is fantastic and ACT is a great compliment to it. I am dissapointed that there is a label of Borderline Personality linked to it because they are great skills for anyone. It helped with PTSD alot. I always feel the need to tell people I do not have BPD when I bring up DBT. But either way they are my two top therapies. This is a fantastic list with people that are very knowlegable about ACT. Here is a great site with all the DBT skills. http://www.dbtselfhelp.com/ Robyn > > Subject: RE: Forget injuries, never forget kindnesses. > To: ACT_for_the_Public > Date: Thursday, September 4, 2008, 8:00 PM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > H > I think the > answer lies in willing acceptance.
