To Know We Are Not Alone

To Know We Are Not Alone


Eating Disorders, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Borderline Personality Disorder, and Progress

November 29, 2017

Highlights from our discussion:



  • Dialectical behavioral therapy. Katie and I have both gotten a lot from this type of therapy, which is highly behavioral. Behavior is either effective or ineffective, and the goal of DBT is to change ineffective behaviors into effective ones.
  • Eating disorders: how to know if you have a problem.
  • Borderline Personality Disorder
  • Work: talking to people at work about your illness.
  • Dating: talking to people you're dating about your mental illness.
