This video is valuable beyond words. The dynamic of sufferers being triggered by the very environments that invalidate them screams emotional abuse. Even well-intentioned persons, if uninformed are not able to adecuately support persons in pain if they cannot understand the validity of the condition. Thank you Dr. Snipes for raising awareness of the topic!

Wow, this is so great. I've been struggling with BPD all my adult life (possibly as far back as 10 years old), without therapy. I have stumbled upon many of these techniques, but this is a bonanza. Thank you.

"If you try to save your life you'll lose it but if you give up your life you'll save it"........the problem at its core, is fear and trying to protect yourself from harm. The solution is to stop all activities and thoughts that are designed to protect yourself, give up your life.

I went through a Dialectical Behavioral Therapy course over 12 years ago. I expect myself to be perfect because I have these skills. When I do not use these skills, I feel like a failure. The Tip exercise and the Accepts exercise are excellent techniques for distress tolerance. I particularly like to self-soothe through burning incense or listening to music. The 5-4-3-2-1 exercise is great to do. Since I have found your video channel, your videos have been a very helpful distress tolerance tool.

This is really helpful for me. Thank you. The 10 game - Find 10 things you are grateful for. Gratitude = Sanity. I use essential oils daily. Today I'm using a body butter that I just added petitgrain bigarde to and its citrusy scent is very uplifting, energizing and this oil helps with physical pain. I read that petitgrain sur fleurs is aromatherapeutic for anger and anxiety. I have that one on my wishlist. I like the idea of visualizing successful completion. I've never heard of that before. I'll try that before I have to be around people again. I just realized I've been doing the opposite. I like the idea of setting microgoals.

Some of the skills could have benefited from some expansion such as Dear Man. The use of 'I feel' statements, explaining that the skill is primarily intended as a way of getting what you want from someone, describing the skill in a way which can be used to say no or set boundaries, the importance of not allowing the other individual to derail the conversation, and using an example so as to better describe how the skill can be used during interpersonal interaction... If the intention of this class was to give brief summary introductions or review then I suppose it's fine.

the only place I feel anywhere remotely safe is my home. I suffer from severe social anxiety. it has been this was pretty much my whole life. I remember as a teenager I couldn't even go to the mall to watch movies because I would have panic attacks. today I am 35 yes old. I have BPD PTSD, DEPRESSION AND SEVERE SOCIAL ANXIETY. it controls my life. it literally takes an act of Congress to get me into a grocery store. I literally have two outfits to my name that actually fit me because I have lost almost 50lbs in less than 8 months but it is impossible for me to go into a store to try and find clothes to fit me. I get maybe one or two outfits tried on and by this point I'm in tears shaking and my husband has to guide me out of the store. I had a period for about 4 yrs where I thought I had truly overcome these issues. I don't know what happened again to cause me to slip this far back.

As BPD, really hate the responsible for their resolution,and just say this is the way it is,,,,u can say we have the power to fight for our life,,,but saying responsible that make ppl cant accept trauma respone instant gulity for failure to cope

I found this lecture very clear and to the point. As a CPTSD patient my therapist recommended this type of therapy. However she did not explain who would be the one helping me with it. She recommended group therapy that I have an aversion to. Do you feel, although I really appreciate my therapist that I can add a second therapist for the next six months for the Dialectical behavior therapy?

I would love a presentation on treating substance use disorders for clients who are using medicinal cannabis. Thank you.

Why isn't there any focus on finding the original problem and fixing it?

I agree, recognizing and addressing trauma is highly important. Thank you for watching the video.

I have to copy and paste here, at least I hope it will let me! I meant to respond earlier to this, as I was so appreciative of your response. Especially written in a way nobody had before. I only wish my initial question was more clear. First, I like what you said about balancing the internal life by taking action in reality. And, I also like how you said social interaction and physical movement is important. But, Im not sure if motivation is entirely the problem. Thank you for aknowledging my Infp mbti type that i identify with. (Also, enneagram 4w5) Nobody ever has or was willing to, even though I identify with it. The problem is I always felt that therapists approached therapy in a way that seemed to advise on what came easy for them. Little do they know how difficult it is for me to sustain any concentration on the external world. Add to that a maladaptive internal experience that i dont have a lot of control over. Tbh, none. That had arised, I think...out of C-PTSD and an extremely disconnected life. (I currently have one friend of the opposite sex for 6 years. And, I spent my entire adult life without literally any family connection at all. No friends, especially female, which ive hidden from people. And, i lived in inequity and survival. No kids. Never married. It was my dream to but i now suffer those losses which does make "motivation" hard at this point. As i feel a real sense of injustice. Ive been through hell. And life was very painful without support and belonging....and surviving instead of living. I know myself extremely well though, with strong values. And a goal. But, I'd say that my problem is not exactly "fear of abandonment" instead... the chronic actual aloneness and feelings of having been worthless, degraded, scapegoated, targeted, harassed, inferior...in the context of social experiences...and in employment levels. I have social anxiety accompanied by some paranoia. Ontop, I find I get overwhelmed alot and easy. I have an important certificate towards employment im supposed to be studying, at age 47. But, I lack middle and highschool foundation, due to my bad childhood and lack of support. I REALLY lived in my head as a child. And, to give you an example of extremes. At age 18-19 i didnt leave my home, instead lived a life in my mind. In my early 20's I had maladaptive day dreaming. It angers me that an Rpn once at a mental health clinic put me on anti schitsophrenic drugs at the time. Saying, that daydreaming was like schitsophrenia. So lets try this. I have too many other tales about a harmful system, many misdiagnosis, and experiences that honestly perpetuated my low self worth in life. Ontop, I got into power struggles with professionals over my needing to be believed how hard it was for me to pay attention. And i did break away from it all, even when they tried to continue my dependency. But it was an inadequate life of survival and disconnect. I then crashed years later and returned again, but lost years of my life to talk therapy without results. A supportive woman though. Then, I tried once more in recent years, but got misdiagnosed with rediculously severe labels. They were rediculous and not correct. Like DID, which I was labeled after only one session because I said that i "dissasociate" not really knowing the meaning, by having an inner world. And i do lose time. So yea, I am looking exactly for a more empowered approach with EMDR, especially since i relive experiences every day. And i have anger and chronic anxiety. But how to structure and learn this employment material on my own? Ill have to but have put it off for extreme amounts of time. On top, social anxiety and disconnect has me always imagining scenarios and conversations in my head. I have no control over these imaginings and I dont think they will ever disappear. Its all ive ever known. I have to ask my friend what is going on in a movie continuously, as an example of it. I swear it feels crazy or that im just different... because everyone else is paying attention and are quicker to comprehend, like in reading. But with me, it is an extreme mental juggle with my concentration torn with these imaginings. However, often they are imaginings that i can derive meaning from when i understand them. But every therapist tells me they have no understanding or knowing about it. Or they give me false labels besides. I can lay in bed for hours and hours. I waste days and days. Sometimes feeling like I'll never move. Then finally I get out of my head enough to do so. But, I just don't know how to make that transition quicker and consistent. I'm on my own here except for a dbt book, that I tend to forget what it says over and over... and I resort to distraction as a tool, I do the breathing techniques, I sometimes make it to yoga...telling myself to be mindful and observe without judgement, only to either be angry in memories, or having imagined conversations in engrossed amusement while for what seems like seconds of painfully telling myself to observe my surroundings. Painfully because its that difficult. Ive been told to then pay attention to my thoughts. Well, trust me, im pretty good at that. Ive been told, as a borderline that i need to be okay with being alone. OKAY. But, Ive been alone at lengths of time that surely would have profound results on the average person. We all need connection and belonging. SO Yea i like what you said. And i would like to taylor somehow a perfect therapy. But i dont know what to do. Should i be using CBT to get unstuck? Should i be practicing self respect while im immersed in imagined conversations and scenarios? Im not kidding. When im stuck in bad traumatic memories of people...or fear of the future... what dbt skill should i be using. Thanks for your input, because deep down, i believe im worthy. Worthy of a chance to live equally and to find some belonging somehow in this world.​@DocSnipes

It sounds like you’ve faced an incredibly challenging journey, navigating through experiences that have deeply affected your sense of self-worth, connection, and overall mental health. Your resilience in continuing to seek understanding and healing despite these hardships speaks volumes about your inner strength and determination. It’s clear you’re seeking a path that allows you to live more fully, connected, and with a sense of purpose and belonging. Using CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) can indeed be powerful approaches in your toolkit for navigating the complexities you’ve described. Here’s how they might help in specific contexts you’ve mentioned: CBT for Getting Unstuck CBT focuses on identifying and challenging distorted thought patterns and beliefs to change unwanted behavior patterns or treat mood disorders. For feelings of being stuck or overwhelmed by negative self-assessment and past traumas, CBT techniques can help by: • Identifying Cognitive Distortions: Recognizing patterns of thought that may not accurately reflect reality and challenge these thoughts. • Reframing Thoughts: Learning to change the narrative from a negative to a more positive or realistic perspective. • Goal Setting: Starting with small, achievable goals can help build a sense of accomplishment and gradually work towards larger goals. Practicing Self-Respect in Imagined Conversations When you find yourself immersed in imagined conversations and scenarios, especially those that reinforce negative views of yourself or others, it can be helpful to: • Use Mindfulness: Acknowledge these thoughts without judgment and gently guide your attention back to the present moment or to a more positive or neutral focus. • Challenge the Thoughts: Ask yourself if these thoughts are helpful or if there’s a more compassionate way you could view yourself or the situation. • Affirmations: Develop a set of positive affirmations that reinforce your worth and values, repeating them during these times. DBT Skills for Traumatic Memories and Fear of the Future DBT emphasizes balancing acceptance and change, incorporating mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness skills. For dealing with traumatic memories and fears: • Mindfulness: Helps with being present and fully engaged in the now, reducing rumination on past events or future fears. • Distress Tolerance: Techniques like self-soothing, IMPROVE the moment, and TIPP skills can be particularly useful when feelings become overwhelming. • Emotion Regulation: Learning to identify, label, and adjust emotions can help you respond to situations more effectively rather than being swept away by them. Tailoring Your Perfect Therapy Creating a “perfect therapy” is about finding what resonates with you and adapting these tools to suit your needs. It might also involve exploring new therapeutic approaches like EMDR, which you mentioned, especially for processing and integrating traumatic memories. Given the complexities of your experiences, a multidisciplinary approach might be most effective, incorporating self-guided learning with professional support when possible. Engaging with communities or support groups, either in person or online, can also offer a sense of connection and shared understanding. You’ve mentioned an important aspect: believing deep down that you’re worthy. Holding onto this belief is crucial. It’s the foundation upon which you can build your journey towards healing, connection, and a sense of belonging. Remember, progress is not linear and being patient and compassionate with yourself through this process is key.

Many of the skills I got right didn't need any training for that when I was growing up. It's still a good reminder, and it doesn't do harm. However or when you have already had limited contact and then have this vague feeling that one is being manipulated. That's the past it could have been worse. So one only has control over one's own feelings, Remorse is a more helpful emotion than guilt, had to work through that could have been worse. I had gone through REBT. One can only correct one's own feelings, or be aware of one's own feelings. Placing a boundary was not easy, the first time one puts up a boundary one is in the same situation again. I am doing all of the self-compassion exercises that I need to do. So a broken record of repeating it helps. To say No. When with other peers it's easier to manage, however peers need to be in the correct subject area. I have kept a set of records for unhelpful comments being said, particularly when I was being successful in the workplace. So the concern about peers, is that they need to be workplace peers. It doesn''t mean that you bliock peers elsewhere.

What do you do if you are an infp personality type and you have a severe problem getting yourself to do anything? Isolation, lack of structure, disconnect...plays a part. But, I've always lived in my head and lived in my imagination. I've had bouts of time in my lifetime that was years long where I was stuck with little physical activity. I mean someone really suggested dbt again.... which frustrated me because....how the heck to you get out of your head to do dbt? I'm serious. I'm supposed to go for an intake for EMDR therapy soon. And they said that they start off with DBT. And I'm frustrated because I thought EMDR would help the DBT to actually have affect. Besides that, I swear it was written for those with extroverted sensing in their mbti function stack.

It sounds like you're experiencing some challenges with motivation and engaging in therapeutic practices like DBT (Dialectical Behavior Therapy) and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing), particularly as someone with an INFP personality type who tends to live in their imagination. Let's address your concerns step by step. Overcoming Isolation and Lack of Structure for INFPs For individuals with an INFP personality, creating a structured environment that still allows for creativity and introspection can be beneficial. It's important to establish a routine that includes physical activity, social interaction, and time for reflection. This can help you transition from being in your head to taking action in the real world. DBT and INFP Personality Type DBT can be particularly helpful for individuals who experience intense emotions and have difficulty managing impulses. It teaches skills like distress tolerance and mindfulness, which can help you pause and choose how to act rather than reacting impulsively. For someone who is introspective and imaginative, DBT can provide practical tools to balance internal experiences with external actions. EMDR Therapy and INFP Personality Type EMDR is a therapy designed to help people process and integrate traumatic memories. It can be empowering and client-led, allowing you to work through trauma in a way that's meaningful for you. EMDR has been shown to be effective for a variety of individuals, including those who may have a rich inner life and struggle with intrusive thoughts. Integrating DBT with EMDR It's understandable to feel frustrated if you were hoping to start with EMDR therapy. However, some therapists may begin with DBT to establish emotional stability and coping skills before moving on to EMDR. This approach can ensure that you have the necessary tools to handle the emotional intensity that can come with processing trauma in EMDR sessions. Addressing Your Concerns It's important to communicate your concerns and preferences with your therapist. If you feel that EMDR might be more beneficial for you initially, discuss this during your intake. A good therapist will work with you to tailor the treatment plan to your needs, taking into account your personality type and how it affects your therapy process. Remember, therapy is a collaborative process, and it's crucial to find a therapist who respects your individuality and works with you to create a plan that feels right for you. If you have any more questions or need further guidance, feel free to reach out.

My struggles aren't with knowing the past that caused these things. My struggles stem from creating solutions. So many therapists focus on past trauma and events. How do I find a therapist who can help me create solutions?

A cognitive behavioral therapist can help you identify strategies to address how past trauma is impacting you in the present.

@@DocSnipes Thank you. Finding one in this area is difficult. I don't necessarily fit all the criteria but I notice things I would like to change.

Shears and chainsaws 😂. I can relate

Thank you for watching. What tip would you say would be the most helpful for you?

Here’s a hint for everybody in the comment section if you’re doing something for seven years and it’s not completed yet you better be building a pyramid and if you’re paying for this after seven years, you’re getting scammed. I get so much more information out of videos not labeled dbt it’s ridiculous.

Keep calm and use dmt skills!

My little sister sends me the following: “The biosocial theory of emotional dysregulation posits that a teens' “5 problem areas” (i.e., 1) reduced focus/awareness, 2) impulsivity, 3) emotion dysregulation, 4) interpersonal problems, and 5) teen-family challenges) evolve from a transaction between a biological vulnerability and an invalidating environment.” I read it and laughed, uncontrollably, and of course I offended her and hurt her feelings! I had four teens…they ALL HAD THOSE symptoms, lol…grew up and matured. No drugs, no big deal. BTW, her kids were plugged in, I never had a tv or computer at home! No cells till senior year. All “ problem areas” are normal, hormonal and environmental…we live what we learn….be simple…slow down….they need it, too!

DBT sucks like most behavior therapies

I wonder if it was the DBT that sucked or the therapist.

@@jshir17 This may or may not be relevant but some ppl doing DBT don’t explore the reason why certain behaviours might ‘benefit’ someone. Like you don’t want (self harm ) or other outwardly destructive behaviours but I feel it’s worth finding out what one is getting out of it and then add the other layers of coping + alternative ways to replace. This to me takes away the stigma and can help with moving forward and learning healthier coping responses. + what she said in this vid about HPA axis/responses.

I struggle with BPD bad.
