DBT Diary Cards

Does anyone else's T require them to fill out a weekly DBT diary card? I have been going to weekly DBT classes outside of my normal sessions with my T for the past 2 years. I have learned a lot from it and was required to fill out a diary card showing my emotions, skills used and targeted behaviors each week.

I had to show the diary card to the class instructor in addition to my T each week. I have decided to switch to the graduate class which is run differently and no longer requires diary cards.

When I told my T I no longer have to fill out the catds he said he stills wants me to fill out his version of the card each week. He always asks to see the card at the beginning of each session and requires me to fill it out in front of him if I forgot it or didn't complete it. His card is a bit easier to fill out but focuses mainly on SH, SUI, med compliance and skills used each week.

I have been struggling lately and have only avoided certain behaviors because of this stupid card and the consequences of telling the truth. He knows honesty is huge for me and I don't lie but I am really tempted right now.

I know if I fight my battle for no longer using the card I will either lose or he will know why and there will be other consequences that I don't want to deal with.

Does anyone else share this problem?

I don't do DBT or have to fill out cards, but from your post it seems this is a really helpful thing for you to do even though you really don't want to do it. It has been keeping you from engaging in certain behaviors, which is what it is meant to do. I understand that you wish you didn't have to and you would sometimes much rather engage in those behaviors than use skills and have to give a report to your T but... it is serving its purpose.
You are on the path to a better life. It's not easy, I know that too. But you are doing really well. You are getting there. You are doing all the right things to help you get there, even when the going is tough. Keep going. You can do this. It will be worth it.
