I was recommended Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) recently.

Could be better than just more CBT.

What do you think?

[–] starkillerfish@lemmygrad.ml 3 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

i tried DBT after CBT and found it much much better. depends on the specialist of course

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 19 hours ago

Definitely depends on the specialist themselves, yeah

Do you have any resources? Never heard the term. Would be interested to see how it stacks up. Read: I can ask a Vietnamese therapist about it :P (I have no psychology knowledge myself lol)

Disclaimer: I am not a mental health professional.

You should definitely try DBT because its a new tool that might help you.

first thoughts that were really pessimisticDid the person recommending DBT address capitalism as a major root of your suffering or are they just trying to sell you another cure without naming the problem? Therapists and social workers are basically cops. Their job is to keep people in line and not asking the real questions. Mental health professional education is permeated with individualism and white supremacy. Even the ones who think they are doing good are often just keeping their patients trying new things that wont work so they stay busy and keep coming to the next session. If they aren't addressing capitalism, exploitation, and atomization then I doubt the efficacy of any treatment they suggest.

"Just one more pill bro, this one might work, Just try out this new mental exercise, I swear bro one of these will work, This one has a word you like."

Don't get me wrong, I definitely get what you are saying about addressing the root causes.

I just need something right now to help me get through things.

[–] Makan@lemmygrad.ml 1 points 19 hours ago

I get that completely.

But these were from other COMRADES, other Marxist-Leninists, not just anyone.

Also, the medication I have (Vyvanse especially) does help me function.
