I had a tele-session with my therapist this morning, and we were talking about the troubles I've been having with emotional regulation. I have BP2 and PTSD from multiple traumas. And I'm in the same boat as a lot of you, everything is just so much more right now. Jumping from quarantine to protests, and life stuff more central to me, I have been stuck in this survival mode. That fight or flight, and I am a fighter. I've been finding myself going straight to anger lately, that emotional overload... Or I'm completely shut off (I've had episodes of depersonalization come up, and I'm in that now as well) and shut down.

Dialectical behavior therapy or DBT is something she brought up to do some research into, we talked today about being in the Wisemind - where I'm flip flopping between over-rational and over-emotional. I'm starting my research journey online, and while I'm finding some stuff it's real basic. I love reading, I don't mine the "heavy stuff" - does anyone know of any good resources on this technique/process? Has anyone gone through this type of therapy before? From what I've seen it was originally for treatment of Borderline Disorder, but now it is also used with other mood disorders and PTSD. It looks like something interesting to me, and I am grateful for any feedback!
