I’m on a year+ waitlist for DBT but go to therapy weekly. I’ve been going through a DBT workbook, but I keep finding myself trying to just fill in the answers quickly and trying to move on to the next exercise. It’s kind of like how I treated school. Just fill in the blanks, get a grade, move on to the next class until the day was over without having really learned much. 

Really doing therapy exercises means actually sitting and concentrating to really think about it or nothing will change. No writing in answers and feeling complete. I feel like I don’t have the attention span for this. How do you make it through while actually working on it?
