At Your Core
Being in weekly therapy isn’t always easy. I’ve been doing it for more than fifteen years. I started dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) one and a half years ago.

I know I'm making great choices for myself and my five-year-old daughter, and it's still a very emotionally taxing process.
