@@kameronkapferer9019 I probably have borderline too (even if i'm not diagnosed yet I think I am), and since I talked to my parents about my destructive behaviors i'm FINALLY making progress, I want to hope that DBT will make it end FOREVER I really can't wait
I was in a DBT program about five years ago or so. I "graduated" and as I like to put it, my Borderline went into remission. Lately, I've been having a difficult time, so I enrolled in a DBT program again. It has helped me immensely. Seriously people, I would look into DBT. If you stick with it, I really think you'll find healing
its definitely a case of trying hard and working with it. we will have relapses, its not a cure. I'm glad you looked into again to help when you started to struggle. E
I think you're so sweet and lovely. And I want to say it makes me so happy that you don't demonize cluster B individuals as innate abusers beyond help. Empathy and validation go such a long way in changing a BPD individual's negative thought and behavior behavior patterns.
Basically what happened in my last appointment ! My psychologist got burnt out , and she explained me a therapy how it worked ! Really good I found Kati's video about DBT ! Really helpful to understand where I stand and the intentions of my therapist !
Any therapy ANY THERAPY can be reverse engineered and self-administered. My favorite self helps are: EMDR, CBT, and aversion therapy. Reinvent them when they’re not available.
I'm a nursing student and I'd love to say a big thanks for all these videos ! It's made studying for my mental health exam a lot easier and your videos have definitely broadened my knowledge. :)
Thanks. I think I have BPD, and I’m excited that this modality of therapy can change my life. I’m committed and hopeful for change. I want a better life for myself - love, stability, and peace.
I really struggle with...knowing if I'm the problem, or someone else is? Like, I can learn all these things, but when I go to practice them, it just ends up being my fault anyways? It feels like a vicious cycle of self-doubt, and I don't feel like I'll ever get better. Like if I explain something made me feel a certain way, I get accused of "manipulating" them and trying to make them feel bad.
"Like if I explain something made me feel a certain way, I get accused of "manipulating" them and trying to make them feel bad." -- take it from someone who is blessed with good friends and family, but still has depression: FUCK those people. Don't even bother with them. Nobody deserves that. Go to a support group and find new friends or something.
Thank you for this. My 16-year-old daughter is starting DBT next week. I plan to show this video to the rest of my family so that we can all understand what DBT is and so we can support her in her DBT journey!
I have had mental problems for 15 years now, and I love your videos. I love your statement and how you don't claim all this information isn't just your thoughts and such. Thank you.
My brother just started this type of therapy and I was curious about what it was. Thank you for doing this video. I just wish more therapists were certified, it took 5 months to find out in the area who could see more patients.
after a year of bouncing in and out of hospitals I ended up at a residential treatment center focused entirely on DBT and co-occuring disorders. it was the best thing ive ever done
I did DBT while in treatment for a drug addiction and it helped quite a bit. I learned how to regulates emotions better, boundaries and how to communicate. It was awesome. I still have a long way to go with my PTSD but my BPD is pretty much under control. As I work through my trauma the BPD gets less intense.
This concept called DBT and the women brainstorming, designing and implementing this is a massive advancement in 21st century healthcare! and yet nobody I know has heard of DBT! It’s a result oriented, measurable/definable approach to ALL mental/physical issues, yet there’s no platform or advocacy explaining it. LONG wait lists from only “word of mouth” advertisement -so thank you for this! Please do more on DBT!
DBT is my life jacket! Literally. Saved me from drowning in a sea of overwhelm, depression, embarrassment N everything else while going thru a messy, hurtful separation & child custody war. My therapist recommend to take the 4 modules twice to better grasp N understand it. 2nd time I fully absorb DBTs benefits. Teflon Mind was a huge help to begin. (mind was to clogged for mindfulness) Radical acceptances was a huge part of my healing, by right, Radical Acceptance could have its own module! Was hesitant about going to group -'w/people'.... But, the group part turned out to be great because you learn from others questions as well. DBT helped me cope then later to survive. It is a lot of work but worth it! I felt sad(2nd x around) when someone would just drop group.
DBT has really challenged my thoughts as an individual with BPD. I'm grateful that my therapist introduced me to it and I think it's going to have a positive long-term effect on my life. I didn't realize that it has Buddhist principles until Kati mentioned it here. Very cool.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for putting out these videos for all of us out here in need of a bit of assistance and don't really feel we can afford therapy. I am thinking that this bit of information is going to help me so much when I am feeling so overwhelmed and then I respond with such emotions of tears and heavy crying. I don't want to get to that point again in front of my adult children and friends. I am hoping this is going to be something that I can do to help me in the future. I would love to have the therapy because I know that I have to have some issues coming out of a home with a mother that had bipolar disorder and maybe she also had BPD. I am so sorry that I never learned for certain what my mother suffered from, but I am now 59 years old and I really know that the family of siblings is suffering and has been for years. It appears that I am the only one that has really been able to admit this and I removed myself from the family off and on all my life. I just knew that it wasn't healthy for me and it was also very painful to neglect my family at the same time. I struggled quietly all my life and now worry that I too, have passed this down to my own children that are all grown now and successful wonderful people. I often had so much pushed down pain and allowed abuse from my sibling for years on and off because I didn't allow myself to become fully aware of my part in the abuse by accepting it. I just tried to stay away with a constant pull at my heart of wanting to have a family and maybe it would be possible and then I would try again and end up with the same results. Not able to have a family. No contact now for good if I am strong enough to do it. So very sad to me, but I must work on myself and try to do better now for myself and my own family. Healing needs to take place. Thank you so much for being a positive face on the internet reaching out to so many of us. It is so appreciated.
This is so helpful. I was just recently diagnosed with BPD, and I want to find out more about DBT Therapy. Please do more videos on DBT therapy. It sounds quite intriguing. I want to get the workbook (and I probably will) but it all seems a little intimidating right now, so your videos are a great start for me to easily learn some of the concepts before diving in! By the way, I love your videos! You are a great communicator and are able to make heavy topics seem not-so-heavy. I love that you intersperse humour with solid teaching so that it is easier to receive and learn. Also, thank you for making mental health issues seem not so 'crazy'. You talk about them - and solutions to them - in a matter of fact way, so I end up feeling ok about my struggles with mental health issues. Thanks!
My psychiatrist recommended DBT but I can't afford the session cost alongside the cost of regular psychologist visits. These videos are very helpful in determining whether this could at least be something I could work on with friends & family for now. Also, your example at @5:15 was so on the nose, you have no idea. Thank you for this! 💙
I have a binder from treatment that explained what each section meant in DBT and different tools that we can use. In distress tolerance there's also IMPROVE Imagery, meaning, prayer, relaxation, one thing in the moment,mini Vacation and encouragement. For emotion Reg there's opposite action, ABCPlease. Interpersonal effectiveness there's DEARMAN . I got really excited but there's seriously a lot more. I can explain these because of my binder.
My 14 yr old daughter has been in many mental health facilities over the past year. in about a week she will be going to one 1000 miles away. That facility uses mostly CBT and DBT therapy. Watching your videos, it sounds so easy! I know it is NOT, but you explain it in a way that makes it feel do-able. I have always believed that everyone could benefit from therapy of some sort, no one is perfect, everyone needs someone to talk to sometimes. I believe this could be a game changer for my daughter, and I will be attempting to use it myself, I know her and I have a lot to work on before we are reunited and live together again.
When she says "Distract yourself! Don't do it! Don't give in to the urges!" It makes me laugh and makes me want to actually try, but it never gets through to me when others tell it to me in a serious tone.
Good video, Kati! I'm subscribing👍 Notes of mine: 📝 ·"DBT therapy is made up of two parts....[one of those parts] has four modules" ·2:50 "Mindfulness: the 'foundation of DBT therapy" ·4:50-5:41 Interpersonal Effectiveness ° "How to assert yourself while at the same time not being aggressive" ° "This [module] teaches us how to better communicate"
I am doing my master in counseling due to lack of Spanish speaker counselors for the LGBT community, and due to HIV diagnosis and trauma. So your videos help me a lot to help them.
This sounds amazing! I've been in CBT therapy for years and I am always discouraged because they wasn't me to talk about my current issues instead of working on my treatment plan, which NEVER gets done! So, therefore, in my option, it's just a money racket!!!! I will definitely look into DBT I'm my area! Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
I was an inpatient on a ward for a year that specialized with BPD and their main therapy was DBT. It was 2 rounds of the DBT which lasted 6 months each. That was back in 2017.... Since then I have not had any hospital admissions.... It Works if you work hard enough for it. E
My psychiatrist is gonna have me start DBT but I don't want to do group therapy. I don't want to be around people. I don't feel like meeting new people. I actually enjoy always being alone. I also do not want homework. I don't feel like I would have the energy to do it unless it was to binge watch Netflix after work.
I understand about not wanting to be in a group especially if you work, going to work 8 hours is enough of being around people, but you should not always want to be alone, its not healthy and homework makes you remember. I do church classes and we are reading a book and it helps me remember the principals of the book and my religion.
I get that sometimes the treatments sound like a drag or even impossible (I was the same with my OCD and ERP) but if you truly want to improve your life you have to try these and give it your best attempt, even if it makes you uncomfortable, because the objetive is for you to be able to feel uncomfortable but still live your life the best way possible
Basically, if you finish therapy successfully you will be able to get out of your comfort zone and live a richer life, and your fears will not be the ones driving you anymore
My therapist wants me to start DBT. I also have no desire to be around people. Marine vet, here. Curious if you did DBT or found something else that helped.
If I could, I would also like to recommend a book! I am currently reading, "The buddah, and the Borderline". It is about a woman with BPD and her experience with DBT. I am about half way through it and I love it! I feel it is helping me a lot, as well as honestly making me feel like, "Holy crap! There really are people out there like me!" Even if you do not have Borderline Personality it is a good read, you can learn about DBT Therapy as well as you may have certain BPD qualities. Hugs to all xo
Hey, I'm in a DBT group here in Tampa, Florida and it's pretty helpful. We do have a workbook and the four modules..We started with mindfulness and to learn how to look at facts without judging...This is much harder than it looks.
I'm actually in therapy 2x a week one for individual therapy and DBT group therapy I've had so many suicide attempts and hospitalizations so therapy has been a life saver for me
Your vids are the best Kati!!! xoxo I have BPD and DBT has been so helpful. It is A LOT of work but it really is worth it! Sometimes in the beginning it doesn't feel like it changes anything but keep practising the skills cause it really does change things.
Your videos are very informative and I really like watching them. I would point out at something that soothes me a lot while watching you speaking which is you always use the pronoun "we" which I find so compassionate and accepting as if you are so close to us in a way that you really understand what we go through. Thank you so much for those videos and keep up the good work.
These videos are great! I have just been introduced too this therapy from my therapist for help with my anxiety and challenges I have parenting my son. I would love to see more videos...I am just scratching the surface and I would really like to make this a way of life!
I went to your website and couldn't find the DBT workbook you mentioned. I am highly interested in learning MUCH more about DBT and working on myself and my BPD. I feel happiest when I am doing homework because it feels like I'm actively getting better and doing good for myself.
Hi Kati! I have just recently been engaged with my therapist to do DBT after years of being unsuccessful with CBT. I was diagnosed with Severe Depression, BPD, Bulimia and also recently my therapist said that I also have traits of Dependant Personality Disorder. I am quite skeptical if DBT will work and I am quite scared actually. But watching your video gives me some kind of a reassurance that its gonna be ok and that I will get better with time. But I am worried if DBT does not really help me with my array of mental illnesses. But I am considered lucky that my therapist didn't transfer me out to other therapists and is still willing to help me despite it being so hard. I really hope to get better and recover and that DBT will somehow work for me. Thanks Kati for d wonderful videos that gives insight to various mental illnesses and how to cope with them and what to expect. Appreciate it so so much!
Very informative video thanks.I think i have seen some people who probably are struggling from this but of course i will keep this private. Love your videos,they are explicit and very useful,thanks!!
Hey Kati, thanks so much for your videos. I just found you and have been struggling for 16 years with Mental Illness. I have been to DBT many times and finally after a few times it seems to click. It is very hard to understand at times. And feel have to have an open mind to challenging your thinking. It has helped me many times, although at this time am really struggling. Thanks again Kati
Thanks katy morton !! Very informative i recently diagnosed myself and it answered tons of questions on why ive done or acted the way i have. Your channel is awesome
I'm about to start this journey and I'm nervous I hate groups I hate making me vulnerable in front of others and I'm scared I'll fail as this is my last chance
I sought out and learned about DBT Therapy through my own research because I was struggling so much and I felt at the end of my ropes. I read about it being "life changing" and thought PERFECT! I HAVE learned an immense amount, but I am also still struggling just the same. I feel as though it is a person failure. However, I got mine extended for three months and I graduate in December (Remember: year long program). I do believe my social anxiety has been a huge factor to my lack of improvement.
Hi, i just got diagnosed with psychotic depression and noticed that there's not as much info about it online compared to other mental illnesses. I'm wondering if you could do a video about it? I'd appreciate it :).
wow just found your videos, your amazing and just wanted I needed at this moment, I've already learned so much, and I've been seeing a physiatrist, and his 5 mins a month and I'm still extremely struggling and he just keeps changing meds and not talking to me!! Now I'm watching all your videos!!! Your amazing at what you do!!!!!
I love your videos, Kati! I sometimes feel like my psychologist doesn't really get me (I guess that's also because I'm not the best at communicating) and your videos are really helpful and you seem so sweet and caring.
I understand interpersonal skills/communication styles. Executing them effectively is an unending struggle, especially when interacting with aggressive people. They trigger me and I shut down badly.
This would really help me. It sounds dynamic. Deep heavy psychoanalytical therapy has helped me to get to the core, and now I have a sense that I got to “polish” a few remnants, and I believe a dynamic therapy like DBT you be useful
Katy I do not have BPD but I do have Aspergers. My therapist wants me to join a group to learn and practice the modules. I would like more information on how an Aspergers will navigate a DBT group. I am not suicidal or self harming.
I comment every time DBT is mentioned (sorry kati ^_^) but I swear by DBT. It has been a life savor, and has been super life changing. I just really believe in DBT and think that everyone should try it if they are struggling. It is, like you mentioned, a lot of hard work but it totally pays off. Thanks for doing videos on this topic, maybe you could do more in the future!
Hey Kati, I love this video, I think CBT therapy going to be so important to my recovery. so yes definitely more vids please on distress tolerance and emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. I have to say I struggle so much with this. I think I need my therapist to give me some idea of what types of therapy we are going to do and let me know what bit we are at if that makes sense. thanks again Kati another amazing video xxxxx
Your videos made my psych learning becoming so much easier, especially when you're going through all those jargons. Thanks for all your effort. Just subscribed to your channel :)
I've been thinking that it seems to me that one of the main culprits we face nowadays is a direct result of a lack of emotional education. Unless we are somehow impaired or have an illness that specifically affects reaction, we can control our actions. Yes, we might feel enraged, but we need not react with anger. Yes, we might feel disappointed, hurt, betrayed, but we need not react with violence. I believe that if more people (and DEFINITELY men in particular) would be aware of their emotional needs and their regulation, we would see less abuse, violence and harrassment. Yeah, I'm not perfect and have not always reacted to the best of my abilities, but I am very aware now of the power to change your outcomes with a shift in thoughts. One of the most valuable things I've learned through DBT therapy is that thoughts aren't facts. When we react to thoughts and assume them as facts, we often engage in a mind-*#@ng cycle that is deeply hurtful. I wish everyone could receive emotional education, regardless of their age, gender or any other factor often used to diminish responsibility. I'll be happy to share what I've learned with anyone that is interested. If you have been someone to shout at wait staff, exert violence in any way towards others, blame and pass responsibility, justify your actions with emotional overwhelming, know that nothing justifies it. It is ON YOU. You can have a better life. It's worked for me because I worked it! Yes it sounds familiar right? Try it if you can.
@@IndigoCosmic I did an intensive DBT group therapy and thanks to that I started paying attention to my reactions and my responses, as well as taking responsibility. I basically live every day trying to practice these DBT skills until it becomes an everyday thing. I highly recommend looking into the group sessions if available in your area!
Hi Kati, could you talk more about different types of therapy for different disorders? I've been wondering because im going into therapy for my depression, anxiety, SH and ED
I got referred to a DBT program, and the biggest thing that really upsets me about it is the fact that I have to see the program's therapist instead of the therapist I just started seeing, and what really bugs me about that is that I've been in "by the book" therapy off and on since I was 6, and when I started seeing this therapist, she actually seemed open minded enough to take me seriously when I said, "Hey, the by the book shit doesn't work - let's experiment with something else!" Now I feel like I'm taking a step backward and am going to wind up with, "Okay, now you're just going to have to do what we tell you" again, even though that didn't help me in the past.
I know this is an old video but I found out i have borderline and your video shave been really helpful. My therapist doesn’t even know how to treat borderline which is kinda disappointing and i mentioned this type of therapy to her and she said she would look into
Omg without noticing I was applying this method for me, but the last one is still something that I struggling. However, without people and this lockdown I feel that I can'f really apply this therapy. And I feel reverted back to where I was :(
Im already very mindful i wonder if thats why i am not getting anything new or she duznt say anything to me. I have ptsd not borderline but i hiped to get help with trauma iv been throo but not.
thank you for the video, I am learning new coping tools and this seems like a good one. I can't go to a therapist for it, but at least I got some pointers from you, so it helps.
I took DBT for about 3 yrs. it was the best thing for me. I was in and out of hosp for many years. Since taking DBT I haven't been in the hospital.
SmartMarxMan that’s amazing!!😁😁

Mental health
@SmartMarxman is it expensive? I have Borderline personality disorder.. I don't know how to make my life any better but I want to try any advice?

*4 modules - DBT*
1- mindfulness
2- distress tolerance (Accepts- activities, contributes)
3- Emotion regulation
4- Interpersonal effectiveness (teaches how to talk, converse nicely)
thanks for existing
no prob, bub
The same goes to you 😀😁
DBT saved my life. I made lifelong friends with my group and I’ll be forever thankful that Seattle Children’s opened their arms to me.
Your meditating frog in the background is AWESOME!!!
It looks like Kermit practicing mindfulness :D
Pier 1 Imports sold it years ago. Must be where she bought the frog.

DBT saved my life hands down.
Basically what happened in my last appointment ! My psychologist got burnt out , and she explained me a therapy how it worked ! Really good I found Kati's video about DBT ! Really helpful to understand where I stand and the intentions of my therapist !
Hard living in an area that doesn't offer DBT. Makes people, like myself, feel ultimately discouraged.
Try doing it on your own until u can get the help u need, it sucks that it isn't more available : (
Any therapy ANY THERAPY can be reverse engineered and self-administered.
My favorite self helps are: EMDR, CBT, and aversion therapy. Reinvent them when they’re not available.

Do you know where can i find the workbook she talked about?
I really struggle with...knowing if I'm the problem, or someone else is? Like, I can learn all these things, but when I go to practice them, it just ends up being my fault anyways? It feels like a vicious cycle of self-doubt, and I don't feel like I'll ever get better.
Like if I explain something made me feel a certain way, I get accused of "manipulating" them and trying to make them feel bad.
Jonel B i hope she answers this. I'm struggling with the same feelings
"Like if I explain something made me feel a certain way, I get accused of "manipulating" them and trying to make them feel bad."
-- take it from someone who is blessed with good friends and family, but still has depression: FUCK those people. Don't even bother with them. Nobody deserves that. Go to a support group and find new friends or something.
That's what happens with BPD. I too face the same problem.
DBT was invented precisely for people like us who think we are the problem. Your concerns are explicitly taken into account in DBT sessions.
I'm like that too. I find it very hard to trust myself on anything.
Kati, please keep uploading videos on the 4 modules of DBT (I know this one's a lil old). Especially, distress tolerance. Thanks!
Thank you for this. My 16-year-old daughter is starting DBT next week. I plan to show this video to the rest of my family so that we can all understand what DBT is and so we can support her in her DBT journey!
Wow you're great mother hope she's doing well
It doesn’t work but good luck. Hopefully you’re not forcing her to do it

Good video, Kati! I'm subscribing👍

I am doing my master in counseling due to lack of Spanish speaker counselors for the LGBT community, and due to HIV diagnosis and trauma. So your videos help me a lot to help them.
This sounds amazing! I've been in CBT therapy for years and I am always discouraged because they wasn't me to talk about my current issues instead of working on my treatment plan, which NEVER gets done! So, therefore, in my option, it's just a money racket!!!!
I will definitely look into DBT I'm my area! Thank you so much!!! ❤️❤️❤️
As a Licensed Professional Counselor.. I love listening to you and learning from you!
Id love u to talk more about distress tolerance cause I personally have lots of trouble with it. Thanks Kati for keeping this up! 3
I was an inpatient on a ward for a year that specialized with BPD and their main therapy was DBT. It was 2 rounds of the DBT which lasted 6 months each. That was back in 2017.... Since then I have not had any hospital admissions.... It Works if you work hard enough for it. E
Congratulations 🎂
My psychiatrist is gonna have me start DBT but I don't want to do group therapy. I don't want to be around people. I don't feel like meeting new people. I actually enjoy always being alone. I also do not want homework. I don't feel like I would have the energy to do it unless it was to binge watch Netflix after work.
I understand about not wanting to be in a group especially if you work, going to work 8 hours is enough of being around people, but you should not always want to be alone, its not healthy and homework makes you remember. I do church classes and we are reading a book and it helps me remember the principals of the book and my religion.
I get that sometimes the treatments sound like a drag or even impossible (I was the same with my OCD and ERP) but if you truly want to improve your life you have to try these and give it your best attempt, even if it makes you uncomfortable, because the objetive is for you to be able to feel uncomfortable but still live your life the best way possible
Basically, if you finish therapy successfully you will be able to get out of your comfort zone and live a richer life, and your fears will not be the ones driving you anymore
My therapist wants me to start DBT. I also have no desire to be around people. Marine vet, here. Curious if you did DBT or found something else that helped.
Christopher Biery it is worth it, really hard and a lot of work. Did you try it?
I am taking a psychiatric disability course right now and this video was so helpful in explaining DBT to me!! Thank you for sharing
Im currently in dbt best thing i ever did . I love it and my group
If I could, I would also like to recommend a book! I am currently reading, "The buddah, and the Borderline". It is about a woman with BPD and her experience with DBT. I am about half way through it and I love it! I feel it is helping me a lot, as well as honestly making me feel like, "Holy crap! There really are people out there like me!" Even if you do not have Borderline Personality it is a good read, you can learn about DBT Therapy as well as you may have certain BPD qualities. Hugs to all xo
Hey, I'm in a DBT group here in Tampa, Florida and it's pretty helpful. We do have a workbook and the four modules..We started with mindfulness and to learn how to look at facts without judging...This is much harder than it looks.
where is this group ?
hi I am tampa too. is this a meet up group? how do you join it. I'd really appreciate it if you could tell me. thanks.
I know this comment is old but how do i find a group like this? I'm in the tampa area too.
I'm actually in therapy 2x a week one for individual therapy and DBT group therapy I've had so many suicide attempts and hospitalizations so therapy has been a life saver for me
Thank you mrs. Morton for your work. Good to see an advisor that is prepared!
Your vids are the best Kati!!! xoxo I have BPD and DBT has been so helpful. It is A LOT of work but it really is worth it! Sometimes in the beginning it doesn't feel like it changes anything but keep practising the skills cause it really does change things.
Your videos are very informative and I really like watching them. I would point out at something that soothes me a lot while watching you speaking which is you always use the pronoun "we" which I find so compassionate and accepting as if you are so close to us in a way that you really understand what we go through. Thank you so much for those videos and keep up the good work.
I can't wait to start. As long as I know I'm doing something to help myself I can keep my head above the water. Plus a challenge is always nice
These videos are great! I have just been introduced too this therapy from my therapist for help with my anxiety and challenges I have parenting my son. I would love to see more videos...I am just scratching the surface and I would really like to make this a way of life!
I went to your website and couldn't find the DBT workbook you mentioned. I am highly interested in learning MUCH more about DBT and working on myself and my BPD. I feel happiest when I am doing homework because it feels like I'm actively getting better and doing good for myself.
It's so hard to get this therapy in the UK. And I'm struggling so much. I sleep all day everyday
You can buy a dbt workbook from Amazon xxx it’s about £15 x
Hi Kati! I have just recently been engaged with my therapist to do DBT after years of being unsuccessful with CBT. I was diagnosed with Severe Depression, BPD, Bulimia and also recently my therapist said that I also have traits of Dependant Personality Disorder. I am quite skeptical if DBT will work and I am quite scared actually. But watching your video gives me some kind of a reassurance that its gonna be ok and that I will get better with time. But I am worried if DBT does not really help me with my array of mental illnesses. But I am considered lucky that my therapist didn't transfer me out to other therapists and is still willing to help me despite it being so hard. I really hope to get better and recover and that DBT will somehow work for me.
Thanks Kati for d wonderful videos that gives insight to various mental illnesses and how to cope with them and what to expect. Appreciate it so so much!
Very informative video thanks.I think i have seen some people who probably are struggling from this but of course i will keep this private. Love your videos,they are explicit and very useful,thanks!!
Hey Kati, thanks so much for your videos. I just found you and have been struggling for 16 years with Mental Illness. I have been to DBT many times and finally after a few times it seems to click. It is very hard to understand at times. And feel have to have an open mind to challenging your thinking. It has helped me many times, although at this time am really struggling. Thanks again Kati
Thanks katy morton !! Very informative i recently diagnosed myself and it answered tons of questions on why ive done or acted the way i have. Your channel is awesome
You give me hope. Thank you
You are a GOD SEND for putting these videos on UA-cam. Also, I find it funny how people say therapy twice with DBT. Lol.
I'm about to start this journey and I'm nervous I hate groups I hate making me vulnerable in front of others and I'm scared I'll fail as this is my last chance
Came here for Step2CK study.. Needed to learn abit about it. MUCH helpful. Thanks
I sought out and learned about DBT Therapy through my own research because I was struggling so much and I felt at the end of my ropes. I read about it being "life changing" and thought PERFECT! I HAVE learned an immense amount, but I am also still struggling just the same. I feel as though it is a person failure. However, I got mine extended for three months and I graduate in December (Remember: year long program). I do believe my social anxiety has been a huge factor to my lack of improvement.
I took a DBT class and I was so grateful for that chance,
I just uploaded my first video on my DBT experience and DBT seriously changed my whole world. It is an amazing therapy model
Hi, i just got diagnosed with psychotic depression and noticed that there's not as much info about it online compared to other mental illnesses. I'm wondering if you could do a video about it? I'd appreciate it :).
I keep thinking her jewelry is an avocado.
It surely is
Golden Avocado was a great band
I cant unseen that now
Yes any more videos describing DBT/CBT specifically more components it would be extremely helpful , esp emotion regulation. Thank you!!!
wow just found your videos, your amazing and just wanted I needed at this moment, I've already learned so much, and I've been seeing a physiatrist, and his 5 mins a month and I'm still extremely struggling and he just keeps changing meds and not talking to me!! Now I'm watching all your videos!!! Your amazing at what you do!!!!!
I love your videos, Kati!
I sometimes feel like my psychologist doesn't really get me (I guess that's also because I'm not the best at communicating) and your videos are really helpful and you seem so sweet and caring.
I understand interpersonal skills/communication styles. Executing them effectively is an unending struggle, especially when interacting with aggressive people. They trigger me and I shut down badly.
You are a gift! Inspirational! Keep this up! You are doing amazing!
*You're worth it*
thanks, you are too
This would really help me. It sounds dynamic. Deep heavy psychoanalytical therapy has helped me to get to the core, and now I have a sense that I got to “polish” a few remnants, and I believe a dynamic therapy like DBT you be useful
haha I'm currently a coug but grew up a husky fan. love your videos. They are a great refresher before i get back into my college courses.
Katy I do not have BPD but I do have Aspergers. My therapist wants me to join a group to learn and practice the modules. I would like more information on how an Aspergers will navigate a DBT group. I am not suicidal or self harming.
I comment every time DBT is mentioned (sorry kati ^_^) but I swear by DBT. It has been a life savor, and has been super life changing. I just really believe in DBT and think that everyone should try it if they are struggling. It is, like you mentioned, a lot of hard work but it totally pays off. Thanks for doing videos on this topic, maybe you could do more in the future!
Hey Kati, I love this video, I think CBT therapy going to be so important to my recovery. so yes definitely more vids please on distress tolerance and emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness. I have to say I struggle so much with this. I think I need my therapist to give me some idea of what types of therapy we are going to do and let me know what bit we are at if that makes sense. thanks again Kati another amazing video xxxxx
This is a wonderful video!! Kati Morton is amazing!
DBT helps in improving Internal Personal Relationship (IPR) Skills
Your videos made my psych learning becoming so much easier, especially when you're going through all those jargons. Thanks for all your effort. Just subscribed to your channel :)
You have helped a lot with your videos, thank you very much!
Yes, please talk more about distress tolerance.
I've been thinking that it seems to me that one of the main culprits we face nowadays is a direct result of a lack of emotional education.
Unless we are somehow impaired or have an illness that specifically affects reaction, we can control our actions. Yes, we might feel enraged, but we need not react with anger. Yes, we might feel disappointed, hurt, betrayed, but we need not react with violence.
I believe that if more people (and DEFINITELY men in particular) would be aware of their emotional needs and their regulation, we would see less abuse, violence and harrassment.
Yeah, I'm not perfect and have not always reacted to the best of my abilities, but I am very aware now of the power to change your outcomes with a shift in thoughts.
One of the most valuable things I've learned through DBT therapy is that thoughts aren't facts. When we react to thoughts and assume them as facts, we often engage in a mind-*#@ng cycle that is deeply hurtful.
I wish everyone could receive emotional education, regardless of their age, gender or any other factor often used to diminish responsibility.
I'll be happy to share what I've learned with anyone that is interested. If you have been someone to shout at wait staff, exert violence in any way towards others, blame and pass responsibility, justify your actions with emotional overwhelming, know that nothing justifies it. It is ON YOU.
You can have a better life. It's worked for me because I worked it! Yes it sounds familiar right? Try it if you can.
What did you do to gain emotional intelligence?
@@IndigoCosmic I did an intensive DBT group therapy and thanks to that I started paying attention to my reactions and my responses, as well as taking responsibility. I basically live every day trying to practice these DBT skills until it becomes an everyday thing. I highly recommend looking into the group sessions if available in your area!
@@darktoast808 Thank you so much! Absolutely.
Hi Kati, could you talk more about different types of therapy for different disorders? I've been wondering because im going into therapy for my depression, anxiety, SH and ED
Super insightful. Thank you!
I would loveeee to see you make a more detailed video about distress tolerance... love your videos Kati! xo
Thank you, I'm struggling right now but this helps to give hope ♡
I got referred to a DBT program, and the biggest thing that really upsets me about it is the fact that I have to see the program's therapist instead of the therapist I just started seeing, and what really bugs me about that is that I've been in "by the book" therapy off and on since I was 6, and when I started seeing this therapist, she actually seemed open minded enough to take me seriously when I said, "Hey, the by the book shit doesn't work - let's experiment with something else!" Now I feel like I'm taking a step backward and am going to wind up with, "Okay, now you're just going to have to do what we tell you" again, even though that didn't help me in the past.
I know this is an old video but I found out i have borderline and your video shave been really helpful. My therapist doesn’t even know how to treat borderline which is kinda disappointing and i mentioned this type of therapy to her and she said she would look into
Is there any way to do DBT but NOT in a group setting? I get really uncomfortable in group therapy and it's just not been helpful for me at all.
Omg without noticing I was applying this method for me, but the last one is still something that I struggling. However, without people and this lockdown I feel that I can'f really apply this therapy. And I feel reverted back to where I was :(
Thank you for speaking about this Katy!!!
Your videos are great. God Bless You and thank you!
Kati, please do more videos on DBT! I've watched your play list on BPD and want to learn more about treatment and therapy for this condition. Thanks!
Im already very mindful i wonder if thats why i am not getting anything new or she duznt say anything to me. I have ptsd not borderline but i hiped to get help with trauma iv been throo but not.
thank you for the video, I am learning new coping tools and this seems like a good one. I can't go to a therapist for it, but at least I got some pointers from you, so it helps.
Does anyone know which book she is talking about? Her website updated and I just now found all this out.
ı was offered dbt therapy today and this really helped me make a more thought out decision.
Thank You for this Kati!! I enjoy learning about these type of therapies :)
Wow. Very nice! You did amazing on explaning what DBT is all about in just a short amount of time. Learned a lot today thanks!
