(Genna Weinberg, In Person, DBT IOP) “I would love a typed-out version of every word that comes out of the instructor’s mouth explaining the skills. I know that can’t happen, but the instructor is truly amazing. The feel of safety and relaxation with all the people who come and go is amazing. Watching and listening to others and their issues is an amazing experience, and all the love and support from others is amazing. I will truly miss this when it’s time to leave.”
