Tonight I’m going to talk about what that festering anger turns into. Resentments. It’s like me drinking the poison, hoping you will die! Nothing can hinder our recovery quicker, than to continue throwing logs on the fire of resentment. You point a finger at me, but there are three others pointing back at you. Don’t fall for the poison!

Marsha Linehan developed DBT (Dialectical Behavior therapy) for individuals who are emotionally vulnerable. These are individuals whose automatic nervous system reacts excessively to relatively low levels of stress and takes longer than normal to return to baseline once the stress is removed. Initially used to treat individuals with Borderline Personality Disorder, this program has now expanded into many other areas of treatment. It is my opinion, that the area of TBI treatment is another excellent application of this treatment plan, in conjunction with any others needed. Tonight we will discuss the fundamentals of DBT, and how you can apply the tools to better your life.
