Testimonials

"DBT skills helped me realise how I'd been thinking wrong. My aggression has lost me countless jobs and I've hurt people I care about. I'd been trying not to feel angry my whole life. Since doing DBT I realised it's not the anger that's the problem it's what I do with it that is. I've learnt it's ok to let myself feel it but then apply my skills to what happens next. It's not perfect but I can usually think through the consequences of acting in anger."

"A lot of DBT is common sense. I know it already but had to learn how to apply it to my life."

"I learnt loads from just listening to others talk about their diary cards and how they'd used the skills in real situations."

"I used to self harm several times a week, now I can manage the urges without actually doing it."

"Now I can say how I feel and what I'd like."

"I've had therapy before and just felt useless at it. The therapist was kind but worried about me too much, which stopped me being truthful about self- harm. DBT being a whole team therapy has meant I can be myself and not have to worry as much about my therapist."

"I've never succeeded at anything or finished anything before. I've finished all 4 skills modules and still going."

"Interpersonal skills  helped me realise that staying loyal to one person who was hurting me sucked, and once I changed that I changed myself."

"Anger and violence was all I remember from growing up. I used it to get what I wanted and it sort of worked in the moment. No one stuck around. I can manage upset and disappointment better now. The other day something happened which really affected me. I still felt like smashing her in the face but instead I asked calmly and politely and got it. Its still a surprise when that happens."
