Hi, Hope,

You have a great tdoc. He is probably right. Any therapy needs to be tailored to the individual.

It's ok if you don't like DBT at first. I think you should give yourself a lot of credit for giving it a try and taking it this far.

What happens if you decide it is not for you and leave?
Does it effect your treatment?
