I was just wondering. I don't have all that much to start off the conversation because it could go a number of different ways, but I was thinking that it would be fun to talk about the origins, mindfulness, practices in DBT, ect.

DBT rocks!

really though, the mindfullness exercises are very enlightening and helpful for anyone, I think.
I've never had DBT personally. I've studied it a lot to use in collaboration with the therapy that I provided on a BPD unit where I used to provide service.

Some of the individuals with whom I worked really struggled with DBT only because the unit where they were was the end of the line.. there were no further levels of care.. it was unfortunate, but a lot of them were very successful during the time I spent there.

One thing about DBT for sure is that the individual must make a commitment to change, otherwise, it is not very effective, and they need a lot of support because it's not easy.

I am glad that you studied it a bit!
I actually do attend DBT groups, and they have helped me tons!
It has also caused me to start casually studying Buddhism.

I agree with that statement! Though there really always has to be a commitment to change, doesn't there?
I believe that DBT is really for everyone in general.
