I feel like I need help that just isn't available. I need a proper DBT program (weekly groups and individual DBT therapy, and phone crisis counselling) but there aren't any in my area (I live in Ottawa Canada). I did a "working with emotions group" (12 weeks of DBT group) at my local hospital and I really liked it, but I have a super hard time applying the skills on my own. I do see a therapist who is trained in DBT but it's not her specialty and I can only see her every 3 weeks -- it's just not enough. And when I am in crisis my only options are to rely on my friends or go to the hospital (and they usually just send me home after several hours of stress). I am really miserable and I don't know how to help myself. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to help yourself apply DBT skills, access services, or cobble together some kind of treatment program?
