I haven't had DBT @outlander but aeons ago when I had a BPD diagnosis (now long past) I had years of intensive psychoanalytic psychotherapy. Much of it spent in painful silence. I remember relating at one stage to "Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance*. Might reread it if I refind it.
Greetings @Appleblossom . Not sure if being lost is solved by finding oneself or by being found by other people. But nice to be in good company.
Oh @Dimity I love the way you put that. I have studied and done a lot of psychotherapy, so probably have found myself and now finding people. I would have lent you my copy of that book irl. I still reflect on the concept of "quality" and the fact that I did have to do motor cycle maintenance in the real. My current counsellor rides one. She is pretty gung ho. For me it is a distant memory from teens, but one of agency, learning and meeting people, all sorts (some not so good) and some were friends and family. Being a girl broken down on the side of the road and being helped out and not picked up was one thing I will always remain grateful for.
Just Hugs @outlander It has been lovely knowing you all these years. Whatever. Just as you are.
