CBT, DBT all have made a difference in my recovery. The program I attended actually had the list on the wall. We would have homework to help us recognize when we were using these labels. Then the program would help us create a rebuttal voice to these negative thoughts. I could go on and on about DBT also but obviously you know my feelings on the subject. It basically saved my life and even now at times I still refer back to my black book of CBT and DBT notes. I think cognitive therapy is the best thing that ever happened in my life.
