@Zoe7 Yay we are on the same wavelength. You should be super excited about being on my wavelength...it's a very special wavelength you know. 
And you are correct - rule number 1 of the DBT adventure is that we have to "stick around" for the duration! 
So...maybe if @CheerBear or I aim to post the first bit on Monday and then you can super help us unpack whatever we come up with @Zoe7. I'm a bit scared of people feeling like this is a "private" conversation between CheerBear and I and thus being hesitant to join in. I super want people to feel they can share their thoughts on what does/doesn't make sense etc. My copy of the original DBT skills manual is covered with highlighting and question marks etc. I definitely don't pretend to "get" all this stuff and I am super hoping that other people are going to help me understand the bits I don't get.
@Zoe7 wrote:@Phoenix_Rising I don't know whether I feel privileged or scared that I am on your 'wavelength' lol
@Zoe7 Well THAT'S weird...that's exactly what (K) said when I said the same thing to her.
@Zoe7I am still a bit scared about tagging people into the DBT thread because I know it is likely to get heavy at times. But I also totally agree that it could be super cool. And you are right that there are Forumites who spring to mind, who I think it would be super to get input/thoughts from.
Maybe we need to seek some more guidance from the clever @NikNik or @Former-Member.
Sadly I now need to go and do some stuff here in the real world (so that I can then spend time DBT-ing later). 
The DBT meeting is now adjourned. If you see a little carebear named @CheerBear running around like an energizer bunny make sure you fill her in Zoe7. She is pretty easy to spot - she's the one with a melted snowflakey banana head. I have definitely added that term to my venacular!!!
I will definitely inform CB of our meeting and direct her to read the 'minutes' of our meeting here @Phoenix_Rising 
I do understand the reluctance to tag people into what can be a potentially difficult and/or triggering conversation but I also think we are 'smart enough' to be able to 'read' where someone is at and if it would be advisable (or not) to tag someone in. The alternative is to 'seek' that person out on another thread they are active on and ask if they have anything to add or feel like it is a conversation they could participate in - that way the choice is entirely theirs (just a thought on the run here...)
I hope your day is productive little turtle - catch ya later
ps - I couldn't resist and have already started Bookish's bubble lol
@Phoenix_Rising @Former-Member Hope this is a comfortable bubble for you Bookish to travel to the underwater cave in.... lined with cushions and books as requested
There is no rush @CheerBear - and that is pretty much what LT and I talked about in the 'meeting' - that there is absolutely no rush to get to the 'doing' and we can take time to 'do' each week - ie one week could be covered over several weeks. So rest up for now and read back over when you have more time and more 'brain space' (and maybe eat some gelato and licorice just because you can )
