I'd be interested to hear what you learned about CBT since that's what we're working on incorporating into the sessions at detox for the clients there. Did you learn anything about dialectical behavior therapy specifically? It combines CBT with Buddhist type concepts like mindfullness and acceptance... kind of hard to teach someone going through withdrawal but that's what we're doing!
Hey, I always get a smile on my face when I see that you've commented! How cool that we're learning about the same thing. We actually watched a video on Marsha Linehan (the creator of DBT). That would be hard to teach someone going through withdrawal. However it makes sense. By clearing through the cognitions of the addictions you'll get a different behaviour out of the person who is addicted, and incorporating DBT into that will give them the guidance and nuturing that they need throughout the process to feel as though they can continue on....for the most part...do I have that right? I would be interested in talking to you more about that as well and bringing it up in my class. CBT is used by a lot of counselors. However, what we were taught is that counselors who use DBT do so with clients who have Borderline Personality Disorder. Anyways, I'm so going to call you now!
1. It's always fun to read Erin's blog now since I get to see what she got on her tests without asking her.
3. agreed, listened to 'Forever' WAY too much, so if there ever WAS a chance of doing this at my wedding, you killed that when you started singing it 24/7.
- dual relationship dilemma: still laughing
-role playing buddies: also realized it's hard to get dirt out of contacts when you're wearing glasses? Jason you've got one smart wife there, now who's ditzy?
also learned this week: erin's magic jack breathes at me and cuts her off when she tries to talk about important things, but of course when she laughs I can hear that fine. good ol' canada.
Well well well look who it is :P
1. ha ha ha I'm going to stop posting my marks now that you're lurking around this territory, so there!
3. whatever, you are so doing this at your wedding and you LOVE that song too
-ha ha me too, freaking Trevor!
-oh dear, I didn't tell him about that...I'll have to fill him in... nice dig :)
-hate to break it to you there BC but....the magicjack is from your good ol' country not mine! Also that might have been a dangerous comment, Jason HATES the magicjack as well so hopefully you didn't wake the bear!
Welcome Erica... I have already searched for "calming breathing techniques" on Google because of the stupid Magic Jack...
Hi Jason, and yes please do share those when you find some. Magic Jack is the sole reason this world is so angry.
ha ha ha you guys are insane!
