Therapy Update

 Happy Tuesday everyone, 

Just wanted to let you all know that I have finally started my Dialectical Behavioural Therapy. Today I had my second session. It's been going really well so far. Last session was mainly an introduction to myself and the other participants and therapists. This week were getting into the more technical aspects such as Biosocial Theory and Wise Mind. I quite enjoy that style of learning so I found it interesting, but it was very content heavy. I suppose 2 hours a week is not a lot of time to cram in so much information. At the beginning of each session we do a mindfulness practice, and we have homework to do every week. 

So in terms of this blog you can look forward to me starting to share some of the skills I'm learning in group. I was thinking of doing a 'skill of the week' or something similar. Just a quick snippet of what i've learned so it can help others. I'm still going to be posting bigger posts around the topic of BPD and mental health; probably twice a month.

Hopefully you all enjoy the content. 

Out of Darkness
Xx
