Hi MichelleLT,

I'm sorry you're here but glad you did find DR and this website. You sound like you have your head on. What are you in grad school for?

I wish I'd known about DB when all this happened. It took me months to find Michele's books and this site. I feel like I made too many mistakes in the interim since I also did all the common and predictable and unhelpful patterns of human nature. And it makes me sad that this is so common and predictable. But it is nice not to be alone.

So true! You are not alone. You could also look at it this way.... since you didn't start out knowing the DB techniques early on, you have a great opportunity to do a 180 now. You can now just GAL for you, and anything else that you want to do different.

Things will start looking up for you now. Welcome!

Peace and love, f21
