You are very welcome, brandysparks…Thank you for sharing your growth.

I have had years of therapy and benefitted greatly from a few therapists. But I eventually realized I had to find my own way.

ActionforHappiness.com has videos of all their webinars. I attend the new webinars regularly. The Dali Lama is their mentor/consultant. Here is a link to register for the next one. They are located in London so there is a link on the website to find your time.

On my own, I use the exercises from Linehan’s DBT Skills Handouts and Worksheets.

I am new to Mayo Connect so it is good to hear that you find the community helpful.

@aczatx47131 - This is tremendously helpful!

I really appreciate your sharing these amazing resources...I'm excited to tap into them & explore asap. I also really like that there is/are a variety of these resources - for me, variety is key!

I am familiar with Marsha (sp?) Linehan's DBT work - esp. after reading a NYTimes article that she herself finally realized she needed to share with her patients that she TOO struggled with the same issues they did. I will look back at her work now, thanks to the links you provided.

Interested to know, if you'd care to share, how you came across these resources that specifically are or have helped you - trial & error? (i.e., what focuses you to finally find resources that help, since it's so easy to get overwhelmed or put off by how much is out there, not to mention questioning the intentions of the sites, as well as their confidentiality/privacy, etc.?)

I will review possible books online, feel good after reading the overview about the content, see good reviews of those they've helped, purchase some of them, then put it on the pile or the shelf (aargh!).

I know for me it is about interaction (but interaction isn't readily available - however this forum (MCC) has provided another form of interaction that really has encouraged me!)

I'll leave it at that for now. 😜 Thank you again. Interested to learn more about your journey and what has helped.
