my biggest tip is to be sure to practice the dbt skills BEFORE you need them. it might seem silly to practice some of them when you’re not upset, but it makes it so much easier to remember the skills for when you really do need them. take your time learning and implementing the skills, too. if you try to rush through it all, they won’t become proper habits. also, try to fill out your “diary card” every day to keep yourself mindful of what skills are helping most, and which ones you’re struggling with.

You should try your best to go in with an open mind, and seriously don’t be afraid to ask questions. When I first started DBT (I’ve done it twice now) I honestly did not understand why I had to be there, which did not really give me the opportunity to accept the help it could’ve given me if I understood more. It’s completely okay to ask questions.

Wow I completely mis read this post!!! I’m so sorry lol I really thought it said “how do I go about starting DBT” i swear I’m dyslexic sometimes 🙃
Try googling programs in your area. A lot of programs are virtual right now so you may be able to find programs a little farther away if you have to☺️
